  AFX to Flash – keep shape layers and ai files as vectors for swf output?

  Posted by Adam Roche on September 3, 2013 at 5:09 pm

  I am working on a project where i’ve done tonnes of animation in after effects, and now i need a way to keep the sharpness of my vector lines from ai. files, and shape layers in after effects, and produce a small .swf file at the end to use in a game.

  Anyone managed to do this succesfully? I hate the idea of having to double up and re-animate alot of stuff in flash!!

  Appreciate any help on this one!

  Shape layers can’t be exported as vectors to SWF.

  See this page for a list of the very few things that are exported as vectors:
