I have a Flash MX 2004 file I've been working on, and it looked really good. Flash used a nice smoothing algorithm when the images were re-sized to larger than their original height. The images were loaded dynamically using loadMovie.

All is right in the world...until...

I selected all the frames and moved them to the second frame. The first frame is completely blank (my intent is to include a preloader here), the only difference is the graphics now load in the second frame.

But in THIS case, the graphics are all wonky: they don't get smoothed, but instead really pixelated! Why is this happening?
