eps into flash8 from Freehand ignores clipping path

Hi,
Flash8 is seeing vector lines beyond the clipping path when its exported as an
eps from Freehand9 or MX.
I have a map with roads etc drawn in FH9, I have placed a box over that part
of the map I wish to export as eps and cut contents then paste inside box. I
now see just the map within the box. Export as eps. (I do this all the time).
Open it into photoshop, it sees just out as far as the box border. No problem

However File >Import to Library in Flash 8 , then drag drop to stage, sees all
the artwork outside of the box, stuff I don't want. No difference if exported
as eps from MX. Trimming hundreds of roads etc down to the edge of the box is
impractical for every eps I need to make, as I need to export each bus route on
the map as a separate eps, and there are many !
