Okay, here is the pickle, i just got Flash 2004 PRO, and all this time i have been using PNG files with transparencies in my flash projects and i have encountered a huge problem:
I have a nice tube monitor at home and when i make my flash movies using png files (unchecking “smoothing” and selecting “lossless/png” of course, as well as never resizing my image), the files look great on the web, YET when i get to work to check out my site, where i am using a plasma monitor as well as a LCD at times, everything but the PNGs look good, they sorta have this really poop looking jitter effect to them, check out this screen grab i got from the plasma
[color=black][font=Arial]i have never noticed any of this jitteriness on anyone else’s site, and the jpg and graphic files i use seem to be unaffected.[/font][/color]
[font=Arial][/font]
[font=Arial]on a smaller note i also notice that the plasma monitor crops a little of my maximum width on each side.[/font]
[color=black][font=Arial]if anyone knows why this weird phenomenon is occurring they could be cherry pie to me if they could share the news,[/font][/color]
[color=black][font=Arial]thank you, kiss kiss[/font][/color]
Looks jittery to me, and it doesn’t display properly (not even close) under Firefox. I’d suggest using W3C coding practices and standards for your page…
EDIT: The SWF is probably fine, just the code that could use an update here or there. :sure:
coding standard? but i didn’t use any code to put the pngs into the document i just draged them from the library onto the stage…i did a test and i have also noticed it does it to jpgs too, the only thing that stays crisp is fonts and vectors, i don’t understand why it’s doing this at all.
i am ruling out the monitor situation, i looked at it on a tube the other day at my buds and it was bad there too, maybe graphic card? i need to fix it whatever it is though
Your site seems to have the animation shifted off my screen :?, it is also jittery
Browsers sometimes dont conform or just refuse to go by standards namley IE.
They just can’t display PNG’s properly, not sure if thats the case here though
Anyway back to your problem, there is either something wrong with your html coding or swf, or even both!
It defo isnt displayin well in browsers, validate your coding to see if it conforms to standards, you will be suprised how much diffrence it makes if it is validated or not
Since your images are all simple I would reccomend vectorising them within flash that way you will have smooth images whateva happens, it may even reduce the file size
i have figured out what is causing the problem, it is because i am publishing the swf to fit exact in the browser window, and if the swf does not match the exact size of the browser window a horizontal or vertical stretch causes the bitmaps to distort, leaving the vectors smoothly stretched due to there nature: so maybe i am screwed hard, but i will fiddle with it to see if i can get the bitmaps to do an exact fit without distortion, or pray that one of you have run into this problem and know of a magical key…
