    Hi the more colours you have in the gif file the smoother the line will be on export, if you just use eg 4 colours the line will be really jagged but if you use 128 or 256 colours the line will be smooth edged.

    note the more colours the bigger the file size

    When you save, use Save for web.... Then in this new window you should have all the options you need on the right side. Just play with those settings until the preview image looks the way you want it and viola!

    Hey Fruitloops, I have a similar question for you......

    Why is it that a bmp in the library converted to a symbol on the stage looks clear in trial and on the stage but when its published it gets jagged lines??

    The clarity is up all the way , is there something Im missing about bmp symbols in flash?

    Any help would be great.

    Thnx

    Have you double-clicked the image in the Library and set the compression to 'Lossless'?

    How about you try it and let us know if it fixes your problem.

    To clarify though, there are two places to change the quality of exported bitmaps. The first is in the Publish Settings (Ctrl+Shift+F12) under the Flash tab. Here you can set the quality of all bitmaps exported with your movie. The second is by double-clicking the image in the Library. This will allow you to set the compression for specific images and will override the previously mentioned quality settings.

    Try playing around with these and see if you can improve the quality of your exported image.

    I plan on it......I was just wondering if there was a actual explanation......like, oh it smooths the lines on the border, or it adds pixels to the blank area or something
