Is it possible to assign the quality of low to say! a rectangle, and text. rather than having the whole scen as low quality as this can look really bad on other elements.

Is there action script I could assitgn to a rectangle or text that would cause just that area to be low quality?

Please this would be very handy if it is possible.

Thankyou

Nope, you can’t do it, because any use of the \_quality property just changes the whole movie. I don’t think there is any other way to change the quality, let alone to quality of a single movie clip.

Hmm, I was just thinking, it might be possible to load up other .swf files into your movie and set the \_quality property of those, I don’t know if it would work, but even if it does, it’s probably not fesable to do it that way anyway.

trevor, i think it’s possible… say,

```auto
myMovieClip._highquality = 1;

```

0=low quality  
1=high quality  
2=best

hope that helps…

No it does not work, if you try it you will see. It adjusts the whole movie rather than just a single object or movie clip, what a shame ☹

thanks anyway
