Re: FLASH: Question about bitmaps

[brzys]

Hi Shari,


When importing bitmaps, a jpeg is a compressed file, on the other hand a pic

is the same file uncompressed. When importing bitmaps, don't compress them,

do that in Flash, bring them in as pic files. This should clear up the

differences in size.
