Pedr started following the question "ready to give up on Prezi" in Prezi.

I guess you export swf file into flash 8 version.
I am using Illustrator CS4. Any SWF exported from it cannot be inserted into a path as described by John above. It exports to FP 9 as default. It offers no options to choose which AVM to target so I assume it is as an AS3 SWF. The fact that you can attach a path to the swf so long as it is not using the middle section suggests to me that the problem isn't the swf version.

I have to agree with John. It is a very buggy bit of software. And very expensive for something so full of technical issues. Like John, I will not be using it again (though I am forced to use it now due to time constraints). I find it a shame that you have not documented its numerous bugs and failings more clearly in an effort to sell more licenses, and I dread to think of the number of people who have got themselves into serious trouble due to Prezi's failings. I am lucky enough to have had a lot of experience with software development, and have found work-arounds for most of the bugs, but I'm sure many other people have ended up pulling their hair out.
Peter, you say that you know that there is an issue with illustrator files, so why is this not on your website. How can you expect people to make a fair decision about buying your software when you are sitting on known bugs.
The sad thing is that Prezi is a nice idea and quite close to being a decent bit of software, but it desperately needs more work on some of its massive failings.
