Does anyone know if importing higher dpi images into Flash would result in nicer images? Because when I import a 96dpi image into a Flash document, it appears smaller on the stage than the same image at 72dpi. Flash shrinks it accordingly.

Does this shrinking cancel out all the gains of the higher dpi?:pa:
