Re: FLASH: cross platform swf probs

[Jen Dugan]

	Dorian,


	When I open the .fla file (which was created

	on a mac) in pc, the fonts change- and when

	I convert the fonts to outline on mac, and then

	open the .fla file on pc and export it as a swf-

	the outlines make the file too complicated to 

	read and it plays rather buggy (scenes only

	partially loading, strange artifacts, buttons

	acting wrong)...


	hmmm...


	So I need a way to convert my mac .swf to pc .swf


	-Jen
