Markus,

Here's what I've been doing recently; I've been opening a jpg image in
Fireworks, reducing the image size, and exporting it out as pgn for use in
Flash. Is this beneficical? Or is a jpg a jpg regardless of how you save
it out??

Thanks!
gary

If you have an image that is already in JPG format and there isn't the
same image uncompressed, it doesn't matter. The JPG format loses details
every time you save it on your hard disk. E.g. If you scan an image and
save it down to your hard disk using JPG format, it gets compressed and
it loses details. If you import it later into a Flash movie and export
that movie to a .swf file, it is compressed for the second time and it
loses details again.
