All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you.

Thanks everyone. I submitted a ticket so I'll wait for a reply on that before I contact sales. I'm still hopeful someone has a better way to export/import that doesn't involve Illustrator or fixing things after import. I do realize that SWF is an output format and not a source format, but the Xara X swf exports worked perfectly as a Flash import. Flash can import simple SWFs back into the authoring environment.
Is that the wish-list forum? If I don't hear an encouraging reply from my ticket, I'll certainly post this over there. I think what Xara really needs to do is offer a SWF export option that is specifically for importing into Flash. They can just drop in their old SWF export code from Xara X. I'm oversimplifying of course, but that's the gist of it.
I'm an animator and I use XPGD a lot for creating .swf assets(non -animating). I can't say I have encountered the problems that you have. The one big thing to note is that if you have profiled lines in Xara it is best to change them to editable shapes.
The only suggestion I have, based on my experience with Adobe and Flash updates, is that it may well be Flash that is the problem. I have Flash CS3 and it seems to work fine. Maybe it is CS4 that is the problem?
If you want to post a bit of a demo xar file I can see if I can export and open it in CS3 if you don't have it?
