[Jason Bouwmeester]

Also, make sure you are saving as Illustrator v.7 not 8 to import into

Flash.

Instead of an EPS, you could export your Illustrator 8 file as a swf

with the FlashWriter add-on to Illustrator, free at

Then you just import it into Flash, break it apart and there you go. 

(Check technotes for some layer issues if you're doing this on a Mac).
