How do I get this bitmap to appear smooth? I have smoothing true in both draw commends:

```auto

    var jpgSource:BitmapData = new BitmapData (m.width-110, m.height, false, bgColor);
    jpgSource.draw(m,null,null,null,null,true);
        
    var scale:Number = 184/m.width;
    var matrix:Matrix = new Matrix();
    matrix.scale(scale, scale);
    
    var smallBMD:BitmapData = new BitmapData(jpgSource.width * scale, jpgSource.height * scale, true, 0x000000);
    smallBMD.draw(jpgSource, matrix, null, null, null, true);

```
