Illustrator does provide the tools you need to save files so that all the

elements are in the RGB colorspace. Simply use cmd-A or ctrl-A to select

everything in your file, then select the Convert to RGB command from the

Filters>Colors sub menu. All of your CMYK colors will be converted to RGB.


We've heard the call from users that they need an easy way to ensure all

colors were in the CMYK space to prevent color shifts when printing. Hence

the CMYK Postscript check box option when saving as an EPS file. This is

the first I've heard of anyone requesting everything being converted to RGB

in an AI/EPS file. I'll see what I can do to make this easier in the future.


While we're on the topic of using Illustrator and Flash, if there is anyone

who would like to suggest other features to make the Illustrator / Flash

workflow easier I would be very interested in hearing them. Feel free to
