In a nutshell, don't use blending from FreeHand in cases where you 

could take advantage of TWEENING from within Flash. FreeHand blend 

movies imported into Flash have a different object on every frame, as 

you've noticed.


If you'd like further commentary about your particular situation, 

please put up a URL or at least ftp your file to Flasher's anonymous

"In particular, I was musing about where Flash would be in a couple 

of years.  Right now, it's been delivered to a vast number of 

clients, either by being packaged with a browser, or via a download. 

Developers are now developing Flash content that is small yet 

effective visually.  It seems to offer lots of design possibilities. 

Will it still be here in 3 years?  Adobe, who has deeper pockets than 

Macromedia, has announced a Flash competitor.  Will Macromedia 

survive?  Will their vision and focus, so far unsullied [*sic*], 

survive?"
