I am using Flash MX, and I have imported gifs into my flash movie. These gifs are perfect 100% quality with no jaggies, but after I convert these gifs into a button, or graphic they end up having jaggies on the sides after I preview them in my browser. Though the gifs do not have jaggies while I am working with them in the flash movie. Here is what im talking about: [http://www.cataclysmicfaith.com/test.htm](http://www.cataclysmicfaith.com/test.htm) On my menu if you look at the buttons: dnf, doom3, ut2003, devastation, and kingpin. You will see one jaggie on both sides of the button (left and right side). Does anyone know how I can fix this and why it looks normal in the flash editor until I preview it in browser. I’ve tried both IE and NS to preview and same thing happens. ---

Thre are a few methods that I have found that worked for me. 1. You can break the image apart and to do this, double click your button so that you get to your image, click on it to select it then press Ctrl B and that will break the image apart. 2. You can select your button and turn down the alpha to 97%, that could also work as well. I’ve had problems with flash screwing up my images and those 2 methods seem to work for me, hope it solves your problem as well. =) ---

I looked at the sight and I still don’t know what your talking about… ---

If you look at the buttons, you’ll see that the sides aren’t completely straight, there is a slight jagged edge on it. It’s not really noticable since it’s only 1 pixel off which is pretty common. Flash has a bad habbit of shifting images 1 pixel off. ---

It is completely unnoticable unless you get about an inch from the screen and really look. I suppose I don’t think about this with vector grafix ---

Yeah its unnoticable to the viewer, but to the person building the site, it’s annoying. I’ve gone through the same thing, but I heard MM resolved the problem with their player. ---

it seems to me that you’re placing one button over another … i’m telling you this because the first button [DNF] doesn’t have the problem at its left side … zoom in and you’ll see if not … open your library. right click over your images and select **properties**. uncheck **allow smothing** and select **lossless png/gif** from the compression menu hope it helps 🙂 anyway … electrongeek already said MM resolved the problem with their player. try downloading the latest version
