When you export a Flash image as a vector-graphic file (in Adobe® Illustrator® format), you preserve its vector information. You can edit these files in other vector-based drawing programs, but you can’t import these images into most page-layout and word‑processing programs.

Flash supports exporting Adobe Illustrator 88, 3, 5, and 6 formats. Flash does not support the Photoshop EPS format or EPS files that the Print command generates. Select the Adobe Illustrator version in the Export Adobe Illustrator dialog box.

Versions of the Adobe Illustrator format before version 5 do not support gradient fills, and only version 6 supports bitmaps.
