PNG's in Flash loose color information Spen

Is anyone experiencing this problem. It's quite subtle but once you see it it's
very obvious. Try this:

Create a PNG-24 with transparency using Photoshop. Then import the PNG into
Flash. View both of the images side by side and or check the color values and
you will notice a subtle but significat change in color. The PNG imported into
the flash file is noticably duller than the PNG in Photoshop. By the way, this
is before you publish the file so no compression is applied.

I am using Photoshop CS on a mac with OSX 10.4 and Flash 8. I have also turned
color management off in Photoshop. Has anyone else noticed this or am I doing
something wrong. When I import JPG files the color is perfect so I can only
assume it's something to do with the way flash renders PNG images.

Anyone?

Hi Chris, I've just placed another post on this subject as I can't find any
information which discusses this topic. When you say this is a Mac issue do you
mean its a bug with Flash on a Mac or that it's a problem with the Mac OS?

I'm having the same problem except it doesn't matter what format I try to
import into Flash Pro 8. I've tried .jpg and .png and .pict. All the files
loose saturation develop pronounced artifacts or banding that you don't see in
photoshop. I'm on a Mac, OS 10.4.6, using Photoshop CS2. I don't think the
problem is the Mac but has somehting to do with the color saved from photoshop
and then interpreted in Flash. They are seeing the files the same way. But
what to adjust??? I'm using an sRGB color space in photoshop and it is as if
Flash is not. That is all I can think of. Nothing I bring into Flash looks as
good as it did in Photoshop. Another issue that might be related is that when
I "Save for Web" in Photoshop. I notice that the files brighten and lose color
saturation as well when looking at them in that preview window before I save
them. Any ideas? Anyone find a solution for this?
