When I bring the picture to the stage, I use my property inspector to size the picture to whatever sized I need it.
All right Thanks.
though this thread has languished for some time, i just wanted to add my unique solution… i wanted to use dynamic JPGs and stop the jitters without importing all my images in and converting them to symbols… so if you’re using dynamic JPGs you can also set the alpha of the blank MC (that’s used to load the JPG) to 97% and the jitters go away… cool
