Do you mean the "straighten/smooth/ink" options of the pencil tool, or is there some global "smoothness" setting that I haven't found yet?

I'm working on a Flash4 movie that has about a billion imported Illustrator curves, and Flash seems to have simplified/deformed some of the curves in subtle yet noticeable ways. Is there some way I can control this (other than manually fixing each one)?

Thanks for all the info,
