Basically, I reexport the (GDC version, GFxUTHud.upk) HUD from the example flash files.
I go to the Content Browser, right mouse on the HUD swf file, click reimport. It reimports with some warnings about images not having the same resolution, but no critical errors. I save the package. However, when I try out the game, it crashes. With the original GFxUTHud.upk, obviously, it doesn't crash.
I'm at a loss why does it crash. I set up the ActionScript stuff, added the Scaleform plugin, edited the publish settings to Flash Player 8 and ActionScript 2.0... it doesn't work.
What did I do wrong/ did not do?
Thanks!
I'm using the September UDK, by the way.

I have followed your steps exactly as described in the Sept. QA build and cannot reproduce the crash you report.
Published ut3_hud.swf in /Flash/GDC/
Reimported the SWF in GFxUTHud package
Got same warning messages about missing textures.
Saved package.
Launched game - no crash.
All that being said, the HUD being used is not from that package, but from the UDKHud package.

Yes, I reverted the code to use the old HUD.
Is there a specific thing to do while exporting the SWF files? (Using Flash CS4)

No. Just publish to SWF and make sure you've set up your classpaths in Flash properly.

Okay.. Turns out that I modified the fla file in some way.
I tried with the original.. It doesn't crash, but the HUD isn't displayed at all.

I forgot to mention that when I export the movie I get a warning about missing fonts. (precisely $ThinFont) I map them to Bitstream Vera Sans. Could it be the problem?

Please watch the UDK Font tutorial video. You'll find a link to it in the stickied Getting Started with GFx in UDK forum post.

I think I have discovered a minor bug.
The story is: I imported the new-style HUD (UDKHUD), and it works fine. Then I started replacing assets (in the new HUD) with the old ones and it worked fine, until I imported the weapon icons for the pistol and the assault rifle. Then UDK crashed. I checked around and I saw that some of those icons had their settings set to JPEG compression for some reason. Made them PNG and everything worked fine.
