    Why the same picture has different qualities?

    simply, if i put an image in the first frame, and ctrl+enter, here is this image (zoomed) high_quality.jpg: http://www.freewebtown.com/ihtus/flash/high_quality.JPG
    And if I build a preloader, and after that appers the same image, here the zoomed image low_quality.jpg: http://www.freewebtown.com/ihtus/flash/low_quality.JPG

    The code for preload bar is:
    a = getBytesLoaded();
    b = getBytesTotal();
    c = Math.ceil((a/b)*100);
    text.text= c + "% is loaded";
    loader._xscale=c;


    These are the same pictures, why the quality becomes lower when using preloader? Should i use some vector images, edited in Corel, or smth..?
    full image (100%) is: http://www.freewebtown.com/ihtus/flash/full_image.JPG
    Thank you.

    can you upload the .fla?

    That looks to me as if the "high quality" image is a bit-map and the "low quality" image is a vector.

    Wierd.

    hmmm.... when I open the file and publish, both with and without the preloader I get the "low quality" vector-like image.

    When I right click on the image in the library, to choose properties and set the "allow smoothing" checkbox off, the image becomes like the "low quality" version.

    Catbert303, Iaskwhy, any ideas?
