It seems that Flash’s algorithm or whatever for resizing images isn’t that great… because when I dynamically load a JPG image and resize it using the \_width and \_height properties, the quality suffers GREATLY (and I’m not talking about quality loss because of over-zooming… I’m talking about images resized to be smaller…).

Is there a way to get around that? There must be because the creators of the site [www.manipulator.com](http://www.manipulator.com) seems to have solved it!

If anybody knows the solution, I’d be grateful for the help!

p.s. I’ve seen a post where somebody said use movieclip.\_quality=“BEST” to the movie clip holding the image, but it doesn’t really seem to work.
