I need to apply

```auto
MovieClip.forceSmoothing = true;

```

property for dinamically loaded jpg images. But i cannot manage this in the given AS code (where to put the line in the code?)  
my externally loaded jpegs look lousy /pixelated/ without that option - i applied it on imported bitmaps with excellent results.  
I’ve attached the fla file, and would be very thankfull for any help.

edit:  
i defined

```auto
var mclObj:Object = new Object();

```

in frame4 AS  
and put

```auto
mclObj.onLoadInit = onLoadInit; 

function onLoadInit(theLoadedImage:MovieClip)

{
       theLoadedImage.forceSmoothing = true;
}

```

into

```auto
function load_pic(fm_selected_pic_no)

```

after the loadMovie line. But didn’t work. No smoothing, although without compiler errors.
