FLASH: BMP or JPG

[Patrick Levy]

A question for experienced flashers:  I'm creating what will be, no doubt, a

fairly large .swf file that will incorporate a fair number of bmp/jpg images

with alpha channel fades (for a good example of what I'm doing, see

http://www.bodyofwork.com).  My question is this:  What's the most efficient

way to bring in these images?  Obviously, bmp's will be larger, but not

involve any decompression processing, while compressed jpg's will result in

smaller file size, but involve more processing on the user's end (at least I

think that's obvious, maybe their are different considerations in the flash

environment).  What works best, in your experience, from the standpoint of

delivering a smooth animation?
