ScaleZ causing issues when used to fix image display problems

In an attempt to fix an image display problem, where the image is displayed with much of it being jagged, I happened across the ‘scaleZ’ setting. Not knowing of any other option to correct this issue I just changed this setting from/to its original setting which has fixed the display issue. The problem now is it has negatively effected performance across the board.

The image being used is a .jpg file and imported into Flash CS5 having the properties: 1296x818 and 32 bits per pixel. Compression is Photo (JPEG), Quality set at ‘Use imported JPEG data’. File size is 868kb but when looking at the ‘Imported JPEG’ stats it says original 4240.5kb, compressed 888.4kb, 20% of original.

The application uses swfobject and swffit with swffit set in javascript as:

swffit.fit(“bpb”, 770, 486, 1296, 818, true, true);

If not using this swffit the image displays properly but much larger than necessary so I don’t know that I could get away without using swffit to control the size.

This is a major issue and possibly a show stopper so any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance for any information.
