RE: FLASH: Duh! jpgs in Flash

[Tim Allan]

But in answer to your question, it does both those things.


you can set the overall image compression in the publish settings. This is

the  overall compression level for all uncompressed images within the Fla as

well as all files that have not had there specific compression levels set

(see below)


When you double click on the image in the library, you bring up the image

properties dialogue box. You can specify there whether to use the overall

movie compression setting, or you can individually specify the ammount of

compression you want for that image.


Use the "test" button to see what sort of K saving different compression

settings make


The grey area I am not sur of is if you import in a compressed jpeg (say at

a compression level of 60) and set the export level at 100.


Hope this helps

Best way to do jpgs is not to use jpgs and to use an uncompressed format

like bmp or pct.
