Considering the type of integration of Fireworks with Dreamweaver, it seems

very natural to be able to export a Fireworks file in FLA format, OR have

Flash import a Fireworks file in an easy to edit format. I find Fireworks

much easier to use and as a consequence I would like to create great

interfaces in Fireworks and then animate them in Flash.


It would not suprise me if this type of ease of use will be the biggest

selling point of Adobe's product over Flash.


I know that Flash can already import from Illustrator and I suppose that is

one way to do it in order to maintain easily editable vectors. But why not

make it easier?
