Not necessarily. Bitmaps can be okay in Flash, especially if they are not

animating. Why don't you try putting it in a lower layer in your Flash

movie and see how it looks and what it does to file size? If the source

file is a jpeg, in Flash4 you can opt to retain the jpeg compression rather

than uncompress and recompress it (which lowers quality). In Flash3 you

really should try to import as non-lossy format such as gif, bmp, pict, or png.
