Re: Import format BMP or JPEG??

[John Croteau]

Hi Jacko,

  You should always import the original image cropped to the size you

will be using in Flash if possible. If the format is not an import

option in Flash, then you should convert to a lossless format, a BMP or

PICT file. Do not convert to .jpg. JPEG (.jpg) is a lossy format that

degrades the picture. Reducing the file size of an image before

importing that image into Flash is of no help in reducing the file size

of Flash. And in the case of .jpg files it is counterproductive since it

the original image is changed when converted to .jpg and the size

reduction before impoting is irrelavent to Flash, since Flash deals with

the fully expanded picture before it applies its own JPEG or lossless

compression to a picture.
