i have a mail form that i import (into a placeholder MC) into my main movie.

on its own it looks great (text aliases properly and graphics appear crisp).

but after i load it into the main movie, it looks blurry and the text is almost illegible.

does anyone know why?

cheers

maybe you should try: your\_movie\_clip\_that\_was\_imported.\_quality=“BEST”;  
hope it helps

do you know where i would place the code?  
i tried directly on frame 1 of the imported MC.  
also directly under the loadMovie command in the Placeholder MC.

no difference

thats indeed weird  
try to debug the movie and then if the movie is loaded in look into the properties panel  
look up quality write “BEST”;  
or you could also try the function toggleHighQuality(); this you should write after the movie is loaded in  
or do you probably use Dynamic text??(but if then the images shouldnt be crisp)  
if nothing works you should send me the movie
