Top Quality For Your Flash Movies

Hi ,

Today I'm going to let you on a nice tip for your swish/flash movies.
Ever noticed that when having effects on images, like a stretching of it (scaling) it turns out that the image is all choppy and pixelated in it's appearance



Now that doesen't look that good, does it? This also happens when you have image modifications and you add a preloader. Before adding the preloader all looks great, after adding the preloader, it will look all choppy. Now how about this version of the movie?



That does look much better doesen't it! The secret is simple. Add this short code on your scene:

onload () {
this._quality = "best";
}


Of course that the movie will take up a little more CPU but it also depends what you want to achive in your movie.

Normally the movie quality is set to high, but as it shows, sometimes it's not enough.

Now we face another problem, having the same perfect image while having our movie in HTML. To do that just select from the Export options in SwishMax, on the HTML tags, quality "best", just like shown in the image below:

If you want to add the option manually, just edit your HTML and add the following line inside the flash object tag:

Good tip Eddie.

To keep cpu usage to a minimal I like to trigger 'best' quality only when an image is being transformed on screen. Then switch back to high.

Cheers EddiE Nice tip!

Picture zooms done in flash do not behave this way. Just zooms or movement done in Swish.

You are wrong, here is the proof... This is all Flash
