poor image quality when loading JPEG file using MovieClipLoader.loadClip()

[konsu]

I have a JPEG file that looks fine in Photoshop. When I load it into a movie clip using MovieClipLoader.loadClip() API it renders in much poorer quality than the original. I tried setting _highquality = 2 on the target movie clip object to no avail. Please help.

In your main movie , have this on the first frame.

_quality="BEST";

...and see if it looks better.

Open the jpg in Fireworks and resave/export it back out as the same jpg. I had the same problem before and it seemed Fireworks made the jpgs more "Flash" friendly.

i had that problem every single time i used any image until i stop using a library - this is probably rubbish but try deleting any occurences of your image from the fla...

thanks for all your responses. setting the JPEG qulaity to maximum in the publish settings fixed the problem. btw, my JPEG is not in the library, i use loadClip to load it dynamically.
