Ok i made a site and i want to add a preloader…so i downloaded 3 different generic preloaders. i tried all of them. and the problem is that as soon as i add a preloader my images become pixelated??  
i set the export Jpeg quality to be 100 already. if i remove the preloader and view my site online…the images are fine and are smooth. but as soon as i add any preloader the images become pixelated and not smooth at all.  
The way im loading images is just a simple loadmovie command to load in 4 seperate swf’s containing my pictures. without the preloader they appear fine, with the preloader they appear pixelated.

any ideas anyone??
