Flash 4 doesn't support all of the features of Freehand, so many of your complex
fills and such will get hosed...

if possible, export what you can through the Freehand SWF export filter, and
then bring it into Flash 4 and get to work cleaning it up...

i haven't found a way to get around this, so i've had to get down and dirty and
edit the hell out of the symbol after i bring it in (make sure you convert it to
a symbol)...
