How Do I control the Compression of imported Bitmap image files?

Question: How Do I control the Compression of imported Bitmap image files?

Answer:

• Double click on the name of the file in the Library. The Bitmap Properties window allows you to: Allow Smoothing: Ads Blur, Can be used to soften images that have too much compression or look to noisy in flash. Good also when you scale images.


• Compression: Lossless Compression (Makes files much larger) to keep maximum quality.


• Photo (JPEG) to make smaller.


• Turn off checkbox for “use document default quality” to allow you to control the compression setting of Jpg file from 1 to 100.


• Click TEST button to see, as text, compressed file size.

Update Button replaces current image with the source Bitmap file to show any changes.
Import Button replaces Bitmap with another file.
Flash will import JPG, GIF, PNG, AI, and PSD(Photoshop) with Transparency!
