I’m trying to import some video clips into flash. They’re already in mpeg form, and i want to use them as media player files.

But every time i import it flash takes it and compresses it smaller, which makes it look like crap!! How can i maintain the same pixel ratio? Do i have to bypass the encodder, or am i missing something?

Thanks
