How do I get my images to keep thier quality? Im using MS Paint. Its all good, until I save it, ive tried .jpg, .bmp, .gif but when imported to flash, they lose thier quality… What am I doing wrong?

Actually, I can get the image to import into flash fine, but when I publish the movie, the quality turns terrible ☹

Thanks for your help 🙂
