Hello all,

I am having real problems including images in my website.

It seems that whatever I do, the image appears blocky and looks awful when displayed in Flash.

Can anybody offer a bit of advice?

- What filetype should I use for the image?
- Am I right to use

```auto
loadMovie("pic1.jpg", "holder_mc");

```

to load the image or should I import all images to the library? I am obviously trying to keep the file size to a minimum.

Thanks for any help you can offer,

David
