(I use Flash CS4)
I’ve made a flash banner which I want on my website. The quality was a bit crap so I searched around and found hundreds of places giving advice on improving quality, and I’ve followed some of these.
The quality of the images in the banner is top notch - when viewed on my PC. As soon as I upload it to my website, it goes to hell. The images become grainy and pixelated (although not as bad they were before the changes).
The images I use are all .PNG, imported into flash and NOT resized. They are all placed at whole number coordinates (x = 1 y= 1).
None of them are rotated or edited in any way.
The steps I’ve taken to improve quality:
I’ve gone to each individual image and set it to ‘Lossless PNG’
I’ve unticked ‘allow smoothing’.
I’ve ticked ‘allow smoothing’. \<-- This removes the pixelated edges but leaves the images slightly ‘fuzzy’ and soft looking.
Ive changed publish settings for;
Jpeg quality to 100.
Enable Jpeg unblocking.
Unticked ‘compress movie’.
This is the code I use to call the .swf file. It starts playing automatically, and in High quality.
