This seems so basic but it’s been driving me crazy. How do you rotate a bitmap without it getting choppy? And I can’t rotate it in photoshop and then import the rotated image.

Any help would be great - thanks.

make sure your bitmap is smoothed. Depending on how you’re using your bitmap, this can be done through ActionScript or the library options in Flash.
