hey guys, this should be a simple question. I want my ‘pixel art’ to stay pixelly in flash after published or exported.

Here is the whole rundown:

I have drawn a very small picture of a clock with the pencil tool in ps.

I then save as .png or .gif (i tried both) then import into flash.

In flash I right-click it in the library, and turn off ‘allow smoothing’.

I then set my flash movie to play in the ‘low’ setting directly in my html.

The pixels are still blurred when I view the final version.

Does someone know how to keep pixels sharp? I’ve seen and done it before, but I can’t seem to find the answer now.

thanks for any help

I can’t find where the “allow blurring” option is… I right clicked and then clicked properties, but I still can’t see it.

It’s “Allow Smoothing” and it is located in the properties if you right click on the image within the Library panel… not on the stage. I hope that clears things up 🙂

Ah… Click the image, not the symbol. I get it now. Thanks!
