Calling all Gurus.

I have a couple elementary questions. I hope someone can give some direction
to this lost individual.

To the point:

1) When I test my flash movie, the JPGs I imported from Photoshop (96dpi, max
quality) become pixilated. Is this due to double compression? -I am building a
portfolio site so most of my images will be bitmaps.

-How do I end up with clean images in the final movie? ?it will be put on CD
for a self launch type thing, and hopefully emailed, and when I am ready the
web.

2) Does anyone have any suggestions on movie size, compression
rates....anything. I understand DPI and such in regards to printing, but little
when translating it to a monitor/web/CD/email formats.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -Thanks in advance!

Could be due to flash compression , which by default is pretty low.

Best to apply individual compression to each image in the library.
Make the image in quality you like it to be as final in photoshop.
Import to flash , go to Library CTRL L , right click the image and go to
properties. Uncheck the Smoothing box and you can keep the Use Image Compression
or set it up to 100 % BEST , not always necessary . Monitor the file size while you
doing that, setting up to 100 can cause the file size to increase , with many
images can be very noticeable.

Actually here pretty much according to your preference. Just keep in mind few things
that are crucial while using bitmap images.

Bitmap in motion are very CPU intensive, they can reduce movie performance enormously.
Avoid scaling bitmap , they will loose quality and often jump couple of pixels , flash has
lots of bugs in regard to handling raster images. Limit to as little as possible to avoid
blowing the file with unnecessary KBs .
