    Default Line end arrow heads in flash exports.

    Hi,
    There's a problem with exporting lines with arrowhead on the end to Flash from Xara. The arrowheads disappear in the .swf file (see attachments - the first image is what it looks like in Xara, the second what appear in the flash file.). I think this is a known problem and a limitation of flash but it's still pretty annoying.

    Could the arrow head not be replaced automatically with an appropriately placed triangle in the .swf file? I know that's a bit cheesy, but the alternative, basically, is me replacing the arrowhead with a triangle in my Xara document - which I would consider worse.

    This has been improved in Xtreme Pro in that you get a warning on export telling you that flash doesn't support line ends (and that flash < v.8 only supports round caps on lines, if you try exporting to an older version.)

    This is better, but still not ideal. Any thoughts?
