Or "Save As" Illustrator or EPS version 3.0/3.2 (actually, 8.0 or lower, but 3.0/3.2 
reads in much faster) and use my importer to create a Director native vector shape:

Enter the following into the message window:
go movie "http://www.bluejade.com/public_resources/director/vector_shape_import.dir";

Once you have it, "play" the movie and press "import".  Select the EPS/Illustrator 
3.0/3.2 file you just created.

Or visit the following URL (which instructs one to do the same):
http://www.bluejade.com/public_resources/director/vector_shape_handlers.html
