This must be a PC problem (shift-clickiing) because I've not seen this

problem on the Mac side. I have the .swf save as... option on my side as

well. Since I've not done a batch folder in AI as I've done in PS I couldn't

guarantee that the results would be exactly the same, but considering the

poor guy had so few choices it was worth a shot.


I'm not a fan of Adobe, not by a long shot (I'd be the last one to defend

one of their products), but in line with their testament to streamlining

their products together you'd think that this would be in line with

everything else.
