ok im using flash 5 and photoshop to make an intro for a website. i have made graphics and material in photoshop and it is of a good quality, this quality is maintained when i import these pics into flash and appear with the same level of detail in the .fla file (im using .png file format). however, once i have exported my .fla to make the .swf file some quality is lost, when viewed with the flash 5 flash player it is still acceptable however when i view it in ie6 it looks really bad and im not happy if this is what it would look like when hosted on my site :(
basically can someone explain this to me am i doing something wrong maybe or is this a problem that happens a lot???

you need to check your publishing settings. you might have the quality level set low check that. by going to file > publishing settings. i sure thats whats wrong.

ok i changed jpeg quality to 100 and also html quality to best and the results were v good thnx very much for your help on this matter! however my nice movie that was once a measly 200k has increased to a whooping 1.2 mb si i realise it comes as a trade off :( hopefully i can find a happy medium nb it also helps setting the ie window as close as poss to the work space size in flash (obivious i know)

Maybe you should have imported a .png, so it would be compressed inside flash to jpg, I always use that type.
-
which is more compressed .jpg or .png ?? i thought that .jpg was just about as compressed as you could get with quality???
-
PNG is not compressed. That is why it is logical choice, cause flash has it's own compression tools. If you use jpg it could get compressed twice.
-
i have been told by experienced flashmasters to use
.png fgor all images even if transparency isn't needed so what is smaller .png or jpeg?
-
In the end it's the same cause it's jpg in the swf, but if you import png you can have a transparency, which is not the case with jpg. But, because you can choose level of png compression to jpg, you can test your results in the right environment.

EDIT: i got loadsa pics in my library that i am not using anymore does this matter or is it best to delete them?
