Flash :: Low Quality

Image Quality Lost, Exported At 100% JPEG Quality
I am working on a Flash website for a design group to display their work. These designs needed to be scaled down to fit the format of the website and many of these designs have body copy with small text. In the FLA file they look ok, but when I export the SWF, the text looks really bad.I know JPEG compression isn't very good for text but even when I export at 100% JPEG quality it still ends up looking different. The text looks very "sparkly" with the thins of the letters have been lost. The original assets that they gave me were all in one photoshop file at 150dpi with one design per layer and some of the text were just slightly pixelated if you zoom in (all text were rasterized and flattened into the designs). Some of the same images supposedly from that file had been used on their previous site with no problem. On some of the images in the PSD I can see that some of the thin strokes in the letters had been lost a little from scaling the designs down. This has been really frustrating and I can't think of how to rememdy this problem. Anyone have any suggestions?

-Sorry I did not realize that someone had already asked the smae type of question. I am trying the suggestions from the other thread.

<param Name=quality Value=low> Plays High Quality Flash
I want to adjust some flash content on my site depending on user rights.
The systems shows a slide show with swf/images, if the user is logged in he will also see a list of thumbnails with all flashes that is going to appear in the sideshow. This list is contained within XHTML markup and has nothing to do with the slide show other than containing the individual slides.

It would be nice if I could set the quality for the swf's in the thumbnails to low since 10-20 high res flashes tend to use a lot of CPU. Using <param name=quality value=low /> to achieve this has so fare granted no success.

Things I've tried so far are:

1. Setting <param name="quality" value="low" /> for the individual flashes in the thumbnail list. The flashes are still displayed in high res. Tried using " ' and no hyphens.
2. Sending the flash var _quality=low through the src of the thumbnail list elements. <param name="movie" value="/src/flash/movie.swf?_quality=low" /> with and without hyphens.
3. Googling quality settings for flash which all say to use <param name="quality" value="low" />

Things to point out:
1. I have no control over the swf. These come from all sort of people so I need to be able to adjust the quality via the web page.
2. I've tried different ways of writing the quality strings. value='low' value="low" value=low and so on.
3. The quality settings change if i right click and select quality -> low but they always start at high.
4. The source code writes what I expect it to, the flash simply ignores the values I send it.
5. I'm using a windows based machine with Fire Fox 2 and CS2, the site uses XHTML and my flash player is 9,0,124,0

High Quality To Low Quality Question
I have a loader taking up frames 1 - 3 that I want to remain as high quality and then from there on in frames 4 - 19 I want as low quality.

I have added on frame 1

_quality=high

and then on frame 4

_quality=low

But this does not seem to work - it seems to always be low quality throughout.

Where am I going wrong? - Any help would be so so so so welcome

Thanks in advance

Cannot Alter "document-jpeg-quality" And "use Imported Jpeg Quality"?
sometimes in MX i can always choose between "use document default jpeg-quality" or "enter an integer for quality" for imported jpeg-data. (possibly jpgs generated with photoshop 6)
sometimes i can never - i just have to choose between "use imported jpeg-quality" or "enter an integer for quality".
(definitely jpgs generated with photoshop 7)

can anyone tell me why this happens?

are there preferences in photoshop 7 that solve my problem?

thanxx jo

Bad Fps Quality
Hi,
Im not sure if this is supposed to go in the newbie section, but anyways...
I just made the first page of a flash website and it seems to be lagging when the motion tween starts playing. The movie is set to 24 fps in case you were wondering. It is hard to explain but once you see it u will get what i'm talking about. Go over the buttons while they are still coming in and you can see how smooth they are, but once the motion tween where the background changes comes in, the buttons are really laggy. Not that much is going on in the movie so i dont know why it is doing it. Any help would be appreciated. I attached the .fla file and you can view it at: http://www.testsite.filetap.com

Thank you,
Aaron

Flv & Quality
Greetings all,

after a few test i give up for now,

i have 900x506 Hd footage in after effects,
no text, just plain video
i want to play this in HQ on a project, yet, no matter how i export it to FLV, it looks not that sharp at all when i play it through a netstream connection in flash CS3 (AS3)

originally the footage is 1280x800, razorsharp and i simply resized to 506 and cropped my region of interest.
so i can't go wrong there, it looks absolutely fine. made new composition and checked, looks still good.
I have absolutely no restrictions in regards to filesize, as this is a dvd project.
any thoughts on how my settings should be?

Quality Control...
Just gotta quick question for you gurus.

Ok, for some reason I can't figure out how to set the value of a movie's quality. How is this done?
I know how to use ToggleQuality, but I would like to know how to set a movie's quality to Medium, then low, then back to High etc, with actionscript.

I've seen this sorta thing done before.
Just don't know how to reproduce it in my projects.
For example, "Disorderly" (a game on http://www.newgrounds.com)
Executes this kind of operation (by pressing the "q" key on your keyboard, it begins to cycle through the 3 qualities, as opposed to toggling between "Low" and "High")

Is it possible to control the quality of a loaded swf using the _quality global function.

Ex : Movie A is playing, I then load Movie B into Movie A, but want to set Movie B's quality to "LOW", and at the same time make sure that Movie A's quality stays at "HIGH".

Any suggestions.

Thanks.

Can I Set The Movie Quality On The Fly?
I have a mach panorama movie that runs like a PIG! Of course it runs great when set to low quality. Is it possible to set the movie quality on the fly using actionscript? I'm sorry if this sounds like a newbie question. I've never done this before and my books and weblinks are no help.

The way in which I would like to use this actions is, if someone scrolls the panorama image left or right then I would like the movie quality set to low. But if they stop scrolling then I want the movie quality set to high.

Is this possible?

Many thanks,
