When Flash 8 was released there was a 'feature' that meant any dynamically loaded image could not have its pixels smoothed when resized, and an ugly workaround was needed to smooth the image using BitmapData. Tinic Uro blogged about the problem here:
http://www.kaourantin.net/2005/12/dynamically-loading-bitmaps-with.html I assumed that the proper way to fix this would be to make it so setting the Flash movie's quality to "BEST" would force all images to be smoothed automatically by the Flash renderer (just as in every other release of the Flash Player), but in the end it looked like there was going to be a "MovieClip.forceSmoothing" accessor instead. Either way, unfortunately it seems this feature still hasn't been resolved. In the preview release of Flash 9 I tried the follow code: stage.quality = StageQuality.BEST; var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.google.com/intl/en/images/logo.gif"); var loader:Loader = new Loader(); loader.load(request); addChild(loader); When you zoom in on the Flash movie the image remains aliased and not smoothed. Please tell me I'm missing something, that there's a simple way to smooth an image once loaded in, and not that this issue still hasn't been fixed. Many thanks, Paul. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
