I only have the non-saving demo version of ILL9 myself and so can't help

directly, sorry. But there are two things you can do:


1)  First do the one-or-all-files test... check whether even simple test

files fail to export now too. This can help distinguish between

content-related differences and configuration-related differences.


2)  Contact the company Adobe uses for customer support, or use the

User-to-User web board Adobe hosts. These people work with Illustrator more

regularly and would have the best info on export problems.


(Macromedia created a free FlashWriter Export Plugin for Illustrator 8, but

I don't believe Adobe tested against this when creating their new

version... I'm not sure whether they support existing plugins, sorry.)
