: Flash CS6 - how to replace a playing card index (i.e. how to type into same bounding box)? I've purchased a stock set of playing cards in .ai format and have successfully imported it into

According to what I understand from your question, the Illustrator file has the letters in curves or outlines, and not in text. This means all information about the font has been lost, and you only have a "drawing" of the letters. So it won't let you edit them.

If this is the case, you will need to re-add a text layer in Illustrator, with the russian characters, on top of the original one (and delete the old one).

You can do this very easily. Use some guides to remember where the letter is supposed to go. Then hide/delete the old letter and just use the Type Tool to create a new text object in the same place. Choose a similar font, size and weight, and when you are done (this is very important, but make sure you are not making other further changes as this is more or less irreversible), right click on the text and choose Create Outlines.

You will need the letters in outlines to work with them in flash.
