I searched the archives and couldn't find a response to this email.

I'm building a app that has a bunch of dynamically loaded images. When
you rollover an image, the image gets larger (ie, zooms in). Problem is,
when the image is enlarged it very pixelated when rendered using Flash
8. In <8 it renders just fine. Is there a fix to this?

Flash 8 bug alert!

According to Tinic Uro's blog, Flash 8 now has improved image
rendering and smoothing as demo'd here:

http://www.kaourantin.net/2005/08/fixing-one-bug-at-time-in-flash-player
.html

(Zoom in on the SWFs to see the improvements.)

Images have much improved smoothing in Flash 8 thanks to the new
sub-pixel rendering engine.  But unfortunately dynamically loaded
images cannot have their 'smoothing' property set (unlike library
images where you can select an image to 'Allow smoothing') and
therefore always appear pixelated.  E.g. take a look at the last
comment by Alex Lovett on Tinic's blog and the example here:

http://shockwaver.net/swf/fp8/test.html

Zoom in and you'll see the images stay pixelated rather than get
smoothed out.  This is actually *worse* than Flash 7 because at least
in Flash 7 you could set the _quality property for a SWF to "BEST",
but this has no effect in Flash 8.

This is a very annoying trait... does anyone know of a workaround? 
Possibly we need a 'smoothing' property accessible in ActionScript
somehow...

Thanks,
Paul.
