Hello,
What does it mean when a portion of my graphic symbol is distorted after
publishing, or durring publish preview? I tried re-converting the image to a
symbol, but that didn't help. This has happened once before in a different
file, any ideas?
I am using Flash 8 and am embedding it with Dreamweaver 8.
thanks

Is it an image that was imported in Flash? What is the format? transparency or
not?

I know there's an issue when importing a png with transparency that was trimed
based on transparency in Photoshop. A small portion of the png is distorted
when published, even if it was converted to a symbol. I go around that
situation by adding at least a 1 pixel transparent padding around the png
before importing. The image looks fine then when the movie is published.

If its not your case, provide more info so we can help,
Good luck.

Yes, it was imported in Flash. A transparrent gif optimized through image
ready and converted into a graphic symbol.

I'm not sure what you mean by adding padding to the png. To the perimeter of
the png file or to the perimeter of the image in the file? With photoshop or
with css?

Hi again,

I often had trouble with gif resolution in Flash. Just last week I tried to
make an animated gif in flash and the output was very bad. I had to download a
shareware gif animation software to create it without losing quality. Png is
usually a better format to work in Flash.

What I meant by padding in my last post was to ad a small transparent space
around the png in Photoshop. I usually increase the canvas size on each side of
the image before saving for web. It's kind of hard to explain how was the
distortion on the pngs without visual exemples. Hope you can make it work.

So I tried a png instead of a gif and it all works well now. I guess Flash does have problems with gifs.

You my friend are my hero. Here's what I did. I opened up the image with paint,
copied it, opened Paint Shop Pro. When you go to New it's got your copied
images size already so I added 2 pixels to the width and height, 1 for each
side, and then I just pasted it and saved as transparent, and now it works :)

Thanks
