The images on my website look great when I use ctrl+enter to preview it but when I view the published html file they look horrible-almost as if they are not anti-aliased. The outlines look really wavy and broken but not pixelated. The images were saved for the web (72dpi) in photoshop. Can someone explain why this is happening and if I can correct it? I’m an artist so it’s really important that my work looks good when potential employers look at it. Thanks.

What format are you using to save them in?

PNG is good for a lot of images, but sometimes you should be using JPGs or GIFs.

Other times, you should just be using stuff created directly in Flash.

All the images are jpgs. Does flash have issues resizing images to fit different resolutions or something?

Are you breaking apart the image? Are you making it into a graphic symbol?

It’s not normal for images to look “bad” in Flash.  
Sounds like the stage is scaling to fit the browser window.  
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO\_SCALE;

On a side note you may want to check your RGB settings in PS.

Also, try right-clicking on the bitmap in the library and make sure the box for smoothing is clicked - this will allow you to animate, resize, etc. them without too much pixelating.
