Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know how to make those images less pixel-y without clogging up bandwidth?

Please take a look at this site: [wwww.rachelahampton.com/index.html](http://wwww.rachelahampton.com/index.html)

Blow up the browser to full size. The photos under the project images start to loose their crispness. As a portfolio site, it’s pretty important… They are all 72 dpi, optimized for web, quality 60, jpgs. They run around 100 to 200 k. My employer saw a site similar to ours, but they maintain crisper images.

I’m importing my images through a loader class… example is as follows… each slideshow for each project is an ‘external’ swf that loads into my main index.swf.

Thanks all,

R

on one layer:

var loader1:Loader = new Loader(); on each frame in another layer:

import com.greensock.TweenLite; import flash.display.MovieClip; stop(); loader1.unloadAndStop(); holder2.addChild(loader1); loader1.x = 0; loader1.y = 0; loader1.alpha = 0; loader1.load(new URLRequest(“common\_images/1.jpg”)); TweenLite.to(loader1, .5, {alpha:1});
