MAJOR problem with xml photo gallery - PLEEASE HELP!

1

I’ve been working with the xml photo gallery tutorial on this site, and pretty much have it the way I want, except I am having some serious issues with the image sizes and quality, and cannot figure this one out…

The problem is that when the jpg images are loaded in dynamically they look horrible in quality. I searched and searched for an answer to this and couldn’t really find anything that I had already tried… The only thing I could really think of was to rebuild my site at a larger scale and publish with ‘match movie’ instead of ‘percent’.

After all that work… I’m having something very crazy going on, but it should help diagnose the problem… When I rebuilt the site and re-did the images to match the exact pixels, for some reason now they are super big. I’ve looked at my code and can’t see any scaling going on… I don’t know what is happening, so I’m going to supply all available resources:

  1. Here are the 2 sites that show the difference and also the poor quality:

This site uses percent publish:

This site uses match movie publish:

NOTE: On either site you can click on the main pic for a popup of the EXACT same file, as how it should look…

  1. I’m attaching both FLA files, please look at them. They will be labeled accordingly.

  2. Here is my xml code (of course the file paths are different for each site, this is just the example):

  1. I don’t think I need to attach the jpg files, but if you need them, just grab them off the web by clicking on the main image.

THANKS SO MUCH TO ANYONE WHO CAN FIX THIS!!!
