AntiAlias.

Try either importFileInto, or member filename.
mNewMember = new ( #aplha )
importFileInto ( mMmember, pathToYourFile )
or
mNewMember = new ( #alpha )
mNewMember.fileName = pathToYourFile
Dunno which will work most reliably. importFileInto uses more memory
but it's a "hard" import, meaning the file gets sucked into your Cast
and remains there if you save it. member filename just does a link to
the external file. (The link is preserved if you save, but if the
movie changes location relative to the external file, the member
loses its link.)
