Hello. Ok here it is. I’m having problems importing images from photoshop 7 into flash mx and keeping the quality of the image. It makes me wonder how sites like [http://www.conspiracygames.com/movie.php](http://www.conspiracygames.com/movie.php) obviously use photoshop to draw their boarders but why haven’t they lost their quality? I have been saving images as .png so that i can maintain transparencies. Is there a better way. Is there some sort of trick. Are they using some sort of medium like after affects to import into first then make a swf file there. I have no idea and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Softie :q:

not being familiar with photoshop all i can suggest is maybe save them as jpeg then import them into flash and use the quality actioncript its something like quality\_=high

dont hold me to it its a guess if u have actionscript in normal mode and find quality right click on it and it will have a description it will show u how to use it there

or  
when u export it put jpeg quality up to 100

hope its a help  
maybe try in the photoshop forum
