FLASH: Graphic File bug?

[Seth Newton]

Hello all,

    I've been developing an online demonstration of our software that we've

developed for one of our product lines.  For this demo, I've had to take

screen shots of certain elements.  I've been saving them as .png files,

since I've heard Flash does best with them.  And admittedly, I have tested

out the different formats, and it does seem to hold the best in a Flash

presentation.  But here's the deal.

    When I throw a .png file into a movie, and test it out, it works perfect

IF I am only using one frame in that layer.  However, as soon as I put a

second frame on any layer in the movie (even if it's on a layer other than

the picture I'm trying to keep undistorted), the picture will distort, and

it loses it's original look.  So going on that, I figured Ok, I'll just

create a movie with one frame with just that picture in it, and then import

it into the scene I'm working on.  That didn't work either.  So now it looks

like I'm going to have to live with the bug, unless anyone can give me some

fresh ideas on the problem?  And yeah, I've tried this with other file

formats to see if it's just a .png problem, and it's not.  I tried it with

.bmp, .gif, and .png.....and the results are all the same.  I searched the

technotes, and did a search in past posts, and I'm either stupid and can't

find the answer anywhere, or it's not documented (I'm guessing it's my first

statement, but oh well).


I'm going to continue production, because it is liveable, but it REALLY

takes away from the original quality of the .png file.  So if anyone has

some advice, thanks very much for your time, and if not, well

still....thanks.


-Seth.
