I have just started in on Flash. I fulfill designs for a very creative art

director who uses

a lot of airbrushed gradients.  I was shocked (excuse pun) to find out that

I had to

use Flash's jpg'ing and couldn't set up my jpgs in photoshop.


Why can't flash jpg a gradient without banding when photoshop can?  Why

can't I link or import a file

that has been successfully jpg'ed in another program?  or can I?  Any help?


I agree with Gary, the flash sites are much too vector looking.


Look at the difference in these backgrounds:
