Re: FLASH: jpegs/pngs

[Michael@BTW]

jpegs are fine if you compress them first, and keep 'use imported image

data' turned on in the bitmap properties. If you need sharpness, turn off

image smoothing. I have noticed that highly compressed jpegs look worse in

flash than in a browser, however I have also found that very high quality

jpegs compress fine using Flash's compression.
