flash (macromedia): Need help on how to stop imported psd and jpg images degrading in flash. Have
tried Hi Res images (300dpi) and they still look jagged in the final outcome.
Movie compression setting is 72 dpi, need that setting because it is a large
document size. This has happended on smaller flash projects as well. Have
tried .png too....... still seems to degrade. Has anyone a solution? Any help
appreciated.

Step 1: Load a JPG into your library (File -> Import -> Import to Library);
Step 2: Goto library and Right-Click on the file you imported and select
Properties
Step 3: Click on the Compression Drop Down Box and Select JPEG
Step 4: Uncheck "use document default quality"
Step 5: Change value to 100

Now keep in mind, the point of having compression is to decrease file size, so
if you make it 100% and its a giant image your SWF is going to be huge.

If you make your image 300dpi, it will look fantasic when blown up, but if the
original file was made in 72 dpi and you upped to to 300dpi, you will actually
see no differance when imported into flash, because the original file was 72
dpi.

Hope that helps.

Yeah the only way you can make the images better is by is decompressing the jpg
movie quality. Now it might surprise you, but I don't use alot of pictures in
my flash project. I'm more into vector images that take up less space. So I
tried one of my theories that I thought might work. The only way I can think of
is to change the jpg quality of the specific image. If you're using small
images, then you won't notice the need to have the images uncompressed. If you
need large high quality images, you will have to have a large flash file.
