You can instruct the Flash Player to take the time to smooth out any

realtime rotation or resizing of pixel-based images... it's the QUALITY

attribute of the OBJECT/EMBED tag that would be set to a value of "best" in

this case.


The default value is "high", which always antialiases curves but which only

smooths bitmaps used in illustrations, and which does not smooth bitmaps

used in animations. At a "best" setting the computer will spend more time

smoothing than playing... you have a choice to control how the Macromedia

Flash Player renders this file, where it invests the processor cycles.
