Problems getting graphics from Freehand into Flash

Hi All, Posted this in the Freehand forums as well as it relates to both
programs.

Hoping someone out there can help me with the following really frustrating
problem.

I'm currently designing my website entirely in Flash, however all of the
components and graphics have been created in Freehand.

Here's the problem, when I copy and paste or export as a .swf file and open in
flash or paste the graphic in strokes become corrupt and paste insides seem to
have problems to. However this is not the case with every file, some come in
fine which puzzles me even further.

I've submitted this query on a couple of forums but to no evail, I've even
tried exporting as pretty much every format and still no joy.

This is really holding me up now and I need to get the site up and running
A.S.A.P everything is in place it's just getting the graphics from freehand.

Hope someone has some input.

Thanks in advance

Hi -
Have you tried saving the major graphics as separate .jpg or .png files? [At
the dimensions you'll need.] You could then Import to Library, change any
properties there, then build them the way you need them to be on the
stage/diff. layers, etc. You can also then convert to m.clips to make them
even handier to anim. or manipulate.

Good luck,
El

Thanks for the reply El Jay Kay,

The problem I'll have when I imort as jpg or png I lose to much of the detail
and as the site is graphic heavy I need the graphics to be as crisp and clean
as possible.

Any further ideas would be a great help.
