I am creating mock ups and graphics in Photoshop, 640 x 480, 72 dpi. When I import these into flash they are appearing much bigger. I have set my flash stage to 640 x480 also but cannat change the resolution…am I right in saying that flash has a default res of 72 dpi (standard web res) and if so why are my images created in Photoshop not importing at the exact size in flash??

Understand…please help!

Because when I try to scale down in Flash I loose quality and graphics look crap!!

Cheers.
