Hey,  
I have a question…  
I’m using several text items in Flash that are Jpg’s (since the fonts don’t work in Flash, but they do in Photoshop).

My problem is: when I work with them in Flash at 100% they look fine, but when I watch the .swf the images look bad. They seem to look a bit jagged ☹

I have put Jpeg quality in the Flash publish setting tab at 100 so this isn’t the problem.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks
