Hmm... my memory is that Wacom's PenTools is a set of pixel filters,

similar to Photoshop-style plugins. These do operations upon pixels.


In Macromedia Flash we generally deal with vectors -- curves -- instead of

collections of pixels. It's possible to use bitmaps as a seasoning in a

movie, but curves and text are usually the main course.


Macromedia Fireworks is dedicated to producing GIFs and JPGs for web use,

along with the associated JavaScript and HTML to make it work, but

Macromedia Flash is oriented more towards streaming vector interactivity,

and wouldn't be pixel-oriented.


Is this the core of the issue there? are you expecting Wacom's PenTools

plugins to work upon curves instead of vectors...?
