Why would you export as a SWF? That's not a commonly supported video format, and Flash gives you so many options. 

Your best options are: -24-bit PNGs which are lossless (and I prefer working with sequences because I can easily pull out individual frames and do cool stuff with them). 

-EPS 3.0, which can be infinitely resized in AE but don't support Flash's low-alpha colors (if you even use them). 

I'm currently working on motion graphics for a major network production using Flash for my vector shapes in AE. It works great. Stay away from SWFs in video!
