Thats true Egg,

Fla only being edited by Flash and Swi only being edited in Swishmax
But the swf files exported by XXPro are to be imported and given a place action in the time line but the object remains objects(vector)
Some features though aren't supported(scripts,effects,feathering and the transparency mostly,you can always export these objects as bitmap copies)

Find it very useful to create layout,buttons in xxpro because the drawing canvas in flash and swishmax aren't handy to use
