This is exactly what I have been searching the net for for the last two days. I have bought Flash and had enough extra money to invest in one more Adobe product. Illustrator seemed the next most logical but I had questions about what the advantages Illustrator would give me over just using Flash alone to make the graphics. You are the only source I found that gave me at least one good point.

Since you use both Flash and Illustrator, I was curious about a few more things ...

Integration issues of the new gradient mesh tool into Flash - Does it come over pretty cleanly? Are there problems with using imported gradient meshes in a Flash animation or interactive? File size bloat?

Are there distinct tools in Illustrator to avoid using when Flash is the ultimate destination fo r the image?

Thanks so much. You may save me two more days of trying to find these answers on the web and bring me to a decision if Illustrator will be the Adobe product to go with for my Flash projects. :0)

I do not use gradients from illustrator since I find that the gradient in Flash is more malleable for my purposes. Also, as far as I know Flash CS3 (I don't know about CS4) dose not support gradient meshes.

The only tools I avoid are the gradients in general, illustrator's "3D" does not transfer, drop shadows do not transfer over unless you want to import as a bitmap, which for obvious reasons I avoid at all costs. XD (mainly resizing issues), and the "line" "fill" issue is something I am always careful to remember when using the pen tool issue which I address in this tutorial.

The gradients can be added later in flash at Step 5 in my tutorial.

I think that is all your questions I hope I didn't confuse you ^_^ Please let me know if you need any specific help :heart:
