Flash Image Compression

[Adixx]

I was wondering if anybody knows how to retain image quality of pictures imported into flash.

The images were intially compressed in PS and once they were imported Flash degraded the quality a tad.

Any way to solve this problem.

Thanks!

Set jpg compression to a higher percentage.

Have ....

_quality="BEST";

...in the first frame.

If you get "banding", put image inside a movieclip and set alpha to 99.

I set the quality property to BEST in the first frame of the swf. Although the swf is loaded into a main swf movie.

Shoud the quality property be set to BEST in the main swf that loads the movie with the image?

Currently I'm compressing the jpeg @ 80% in PS.

Thanks for the help.

No need to compress anything in PS. You can just copy and past it to Flash.

The quality setting can be used in the main movie also, as all movies that are loaded into movieclips are regarded as that movie, but can also be use separately I guess.

You should also always use 72 dpi (ppi) for the images.

on the export settings set the jpeg quality to whatever u want it... 100% or whatever...

if any of ur pictures are moving turn em into a movie clip and set the alpha to 99% to stop the pixel shift effect as mentioned above...
