There is this one scene in this movie I am making which is CPU extensive… what is the actionscript to make it automatically low quality and then when it is over go back to full quality?

Check out the entries for \_quality and toggleHighQuality() in the actionscript dictionary. Here are some examples:

```auto

_quality = "LOW";

```

or

```auto

toggleHighQuality(); // this switches from either High or Low to the opposite

```

Though the latter method has been deprecated as of Flash 5.

Thanks… so if i wanted it to go back to high quality I would go [AS]\_quality = “HIGH”;[/AS]

right?
