Hey, i have been working on flash for awhile, but i just started using png files with alpha channels, and everytime i publish them in a flash file they get a jagged pixel looking effect if viewed on particular machines, the site i am working on is not near done but check ([www.troyblank.com](http://www.troyblank.com)) and look at the orange, my tube monitor with 256mb graphic card makes it look smooth without any jaggedness, the plasma screen with a close to identical 256mb card at work makes it look slightly jagged, i have no idea what is the cause of this, has anyone else experienced this?
