Re: FLASH: bitmap smoothing - won't smooth

[dmorriso]

anna,

    In the bitmap properties (in Library) is the "export as" menu set to

lossless or default. I tried your test and on my Flash swf "export as"

lossless looks fine, but "export as" default (keeps going to 50% compression

JPG) looks bad. Of course the file size is bigger.


 This might be some trade off with Flash since it uses JPG for bitmaps in

the swf. Don't know if this helps or not. (I'm using Mac OS 8.51 to test

this)
