If they are resized you should check the smooth option. It will blur it a bit. So you could use little blur filter too or add a layer on top of it like a grid, we do that on fullscreen videos to hide the big squares of compression. but you can't make more information appear from what you

As Laurent said, check the smoothing, eg image.smoothing = true; , that's almost always the issue, especially if they're being scaled down and appearing jaggy. This is assuming you're not scaling your JPG's 100%, for which there's not much you can do, although smoothing helps somewhat. .m On

Thanks for your reply Dennis. I'm afraid this won't solve my problem as I need all of the children to be mouseEnabled so they can receive mouse events that are processed by their custom class. Any other suggestions much appreciated. Thanks! On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 12:00 PM, Dennis - I Sioux

Just off the top of my head, - so then don't disable mouse events since you need them. Instead, maybe in all your classes, the container, and the children classes, when a rollover occurs, broadcast a custom event AND also make it bubble up the display list (bubbles=true) - then wherever your

Is it fair of client to ask me test for IE8 when it isn't officially released yet? No. There are any number of bugs that could be in pre-release versions. Plus, your contract with the client should have explicitly stated the browser vendor and version(s) you would build for. They can't

Good suggestion Jason, but the issue is that when he rolls over a shape, its going to broadcast mouse out for the container. The custom event idea would still work if the custom shape events conditionally broadcast a container_mouse_out event based on a hit test. If I understand bubbling

You're probably spot on. I don't have the event phase experience I should. My assumption though is that even the custom events are going to wrap the default ones and some how it has to be broadcast when container is rolled off. I know neither of us likely have the time to build a demo but you
