SWF export path problems

[IanTechnoline webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

When exporting from Freehand MX to swf the paths of my illustration in certain instances change line weights they are OK in the freehand swf preview window but when I export the file freehand tells me some of the paths or fills are unsupported in flash format. The only work around I can make is to take the illustration into illustrator export as swf from illustrator then take the swf into flash export from flash to swf and then import the file back into freehand!! this takes time.
Any suggestions please

Ian,

Can you give us some numbers to go by to try this? What is the weight of the lines that you are seeing this with?

Is this on Mac or Win?

Thank for the reply. The file I am exporting has been produced on a PC the line weights not supported are varied. I think whats throwing the line weights is some conversion problem with the swf export. The curious thing is the line weights look OK on the initial swf preview window from freehand, its only after a full export the line weights go bold. I have included a link to an example of the problem files
If it was just one file I could live with the flash workaround I mentioned earlier but I have litrally 100's of illustrations. [url]http://www.technoline.co.uk/1.1.1.3_System[/url] connections.zip

Ok I think I have have found the answer if anybody else has the same problem the preview file that freehand creates when exporting to swf with the ctrl-return keys has always looked OK with all the line weights this file is stored as a temporary document in c:documents and settings/-your user name-/local settings/Temp the file is given a temporyfilename with the appendage tmp if you copy the file out while its being previewed in freehand (otherwise the file dissapears) and change the appendage to .swf everything seems to work.

Where is this file on Mac OS X? Same thing happening to me when exporting maps from FH11.
