Sorry, but it's a little bit easier to save a single media file in an old

format than it is to save an interactive multi-media in an older editable

format... it's easy for FreeHand to save graphic files out in a variety of

ways, but Director and Flash tend to export their more complex formats as

only deliverable files, rather than as a series of partial older editable

file formats.


That's the background on this difference... an authoring file tends to be

more complex than a graphics file.
