well.. relatively.. you can

importing a swf into flash will appear like a simple frame by frame animation.. no actionscript or movie clips will be imported as such.. lol (hope you get the point)

but an animation made by swift doesn't have problems because there's no actionscript or movie clips involved.. so you can edit it.

but I'd use swft format if you have swift 3d v3.

ok.. do you mean editing an imported object in flash as if you were workin' in swift? if so.. you can't

as I said.. you can relatively edit the swf in flash.. let's say that flash doesn't know that the object it's in 3D.. for flash that's just another shape makin' your movie bigger.

importing your movie in swft format you'll have a little more control over it.. because the swift 3D flash importer separates highlights, shadows, objects, etc. to its own layer.

just in case you don't know how to import any file go to: File ¦ Import

hope that helps :)
