Jagged Images When Not On Frame One



Has anyone else experienced the problem of images (graphpics) getting jagged if they are in anything other than a one frame (root) movie? I've had this problem over and over on different machines and different versions of Flash. I've tried everything to do a work around, put the entire site in a movie clip and put that on frame one of a one frame movie, load it in externally into a container clip, etc. it's just doesn't fix the problem...

Oh yeah, the problem doesn't have to do with the x, y, being integers. They are on exact integers on everytime line (parent on down). It has to do with the movie being longer than one frame on the root... I can post an example if that helps.

(Sorry to keep editing) It also is not that I'm resizing the images in Flash, they are being placed in at 100% and not resized. (just trying to save you time in responding!)

Jagged Jpeg Images
Hello . . .

I am building my design portfolio site but have run into the problem that many of my design pieces look jagged. Not jagged as in low res, but there are imperfections in the lines themselves. It is most obvious in my logos that are simple vector art illustrations. They were created in Illustrator then I saved them for web, resized them in Photoshop and saved them as 72 dpi RGB jpegs at 100%. They look great in Photoshop, not so hot in Flash.

What's the deal?

Images In My Exe File Are Jagged
Hi, I am having a problem with placing images in a flash projector file - I have tried placing them as jpegs/ pngs, actual size/ re-sized, rgb/ cmyk (basically everything I can think of!) and when viewed in the exe or projector files they are jagged on screen. Does anybody know how to remedy this?

Thankyou!

Jagged Images When Rotating
Hello all,

I am having an issue with displaying images that are being rotated in my movie. They are jagged and looked ugly.

So doing some looking around, it sounds like this is because in flash 8 and later smoothing is set to false as a default.

I have read that using "target.forceSmoothing = true;" is the solution.

However I am not strong in AS and do not know how to implement it into my below code.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks Matt

var numOfItemsIntro:Number;
var homeIntro:MovieClip = this;
var thumbWidthIntro:Number = 185;
var thumbPaddingIntro:Number = 0;
var posXIntro:Number = 0;

var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
xml.load("intro-gallery.xml");

someArray.sort(function(){return Math.floor(Math.random()*3)});

Jagged Lines On Images Imported
I am so annoyed with flash.

I am sure I didn't have this problem with Flash 5..... why oh why oh whyyyyy, do my images look jagged and crap even if I export the movie at high quality??
I am so baffled at Flash MX sometimes. I think it can be really buggy.

Any comments?

Rotating Images = Jagged Edges
So I've had this problem before. You have a jpg that gets ragged after rotating it. There a few tricks you can apply like breaking it apart and playing with library options like smoothing.

The problem here is that I'm rotating A.S. loaded images. ANyone know how to make the images less jagged? My art director isn't going to like the way it's being displayed but I don't think we have to many options. BTW this is Flash 7 so no 8 bitmap options can be applied. Thanks in advance.

Jagged Edges When Graphic Is In More Than One Frame
I am having serious issues with a specific graphic in a web banner I am working on. The graphic is an oval gif. When I import the graphic in and preview the movie, it looks great. But, when I extend the graphic over more than one frame in the timeline, it looks distorted, both the outer edge and other details of the image. I don't get it. I don't believe it is an issue of anti aliasing. I have tried both gifs and png-24. They both appear distorted. I have already posted this ad banner on the net, but I am not satisfied with it. Help!

Resizing Images Without Losing Quality/jagged Edges
Hi
Great site - Cool forum!

Im found this site yesterday:
http://www.refune.com/index_main.html

How did they get the background image to scale like that without losing quality/pixelating/jagged edges that I get when I scale an image? Ive seen it done on a number of sites but can replicate it. I imagine the code is something similar the full browser tutorial on this site?

Thanks in advance

Bad Images - Straight Lines Are Jagged Lines - Why?
Hello -

Wondering if anyone had a solution --- I have some images for a portfolio - almost all of them have a diagonal line that's supposed to look straight, and in flash it's looking jagged and wiggly.

I began with 300 dpi images - saved them to the proper size, no compression, saved PNG's, then imported to Flash with lossless (jpg,png) setting, created Graphic Symbol with all graphic information in the upper left quadrant, and it is in an even space on the stage (no 113.4, but 113.0)....

I did a lot of research to make sure I got the best quality images & have taken all of these steps and it's still coming out crappy....

Any ideas? Much appreciated...

Jagged Animation
I'm having problems with my movie. I seem to have the fonts working now over the weekend. Now that the fonts are working, I can't get the Flash animation to be smooth. Everything is jagged except for the fonts and texts.

I found that if the movie is published at 100 Percent (to fit the screen size exactly) it's at the expense of the fonts looking crappy, but the Flash animations are smooth. If I publish at "Match Movie", the fonts are smooth and normal, but at the cost of other stuff in the movie looking jagged. Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions? I really need to get this site working.

Jagged Lines
Hello. I just posted my new site which includes a lot of swift 3D v.2 For some reason when a visitor accesses the site the lines jump back and forth from "crisp" to very "jagged." Text becomes unreadable. I publised the HTML file with "BEST" setting. Please help.

Jagged Letters
How can I make my text look more smooth? Even when I have it set as Static Text it looks jagged.

This is for a CD room? Also am wondering how to make text seem like it bounces when it reaches its destination, I see that alot but have no clue how to do it.....THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Jagged Fonts
Hi,

I am creating a simple animation using static fonts. When I export my movie, using Quality > High, the fonts are aliased rather than anti-aliased.

Can someone shed some light on this issue for me?

Thanks

Jagged ---> Antialiased
Hi!

I'm having real difficulties making this animation smooth and nice. The animated graphic is an image(jpg), and it is not scaled at all.
The quality of the movie is set to high...

Jagged Resizing Go Away
Hello,

I'm trying to find a way to have flash resize images with a different algorythm so that they don't turn out pixelated when scaled down. This is for a slideshow program. I'm hoping that this is possible. Any help would be awesome!

TIA,

Jagged Animation
This is my second post. No one responded to the first one.

Anyway, I got an animation in one fla. file that plays very smooth (30fps). Now I need to use only some of that animation in another/larger file (30fps). So I copied and pasted half of the smooth animation into the new/larger file, but now it doesn't play smoothly. It's jumpy. Is this a cpu problem? Why doesn't play smooth in the other file? What's the solution?

Jagged Bitmaps

Jagged JPG Visualization
I have a JPG image that look fine on the fla but when i export to swf the image looks jagged in the middle of it. I tried to transform the JPG into an MC and set the alpha value to 99%. I already had this problem before solved with the alpha thing. I have read to position the JPG at absolut coordinates but this didnt solved the crappy visualization. Any1 got some other solution to this that seems a stupid bug? Thanks so much to the community....peace

Jagged Jpegs
I did the search and tried all the fixes I read, but none seem to help.

I'm first saving my photos in Photoshop using save for web.
Then importing into Flash. I have jpeg quality in Flash at 100%.
When I publish, the photos are jagged, mostly anywhere there's a sharp line.
I've also tried using an uncompressed jpeg and png and same problem.
I'm on a Mac using 0s 9.1 Flash 5. Is the older Flash my problem?

Thanks, Bud

Thanks

Jagged Pics
Hi,

I have encounterd a very wierd problem. I have made a MC on frame 1 in the root of my movie that contains other MC:s that sums up to a slideshow of different pictures. It all look really good in quality until a add another frame to the root. Then the pictures look all jagged and crappy. I have never had this problem before. So as long as my root dosn't consist of more than 1 frame (I can have as many layers as I want) everything is good. The same probelm occours e´when I try to add new scene.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

regards

Jagged Fonts
Hello,
Can anyone tell me why my all fonts turn jagged when I export AVI with MPEG 4 video codec V 2 or 3? These fonts look like they have been chiseled out. I'm making a slide show and it has to be playable on regular consumer DVD player. Should I try exporting with another format? Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Images Into Frame With Buttons
I wanted to have 10 or so buttons and by clicking each button It would bring up
a different picture from the library (Or a folder on my pc) onto the movie.

But I would like this to be done with one frame (If Possible)
Sort of like a dress up game but adding the pics with buttons instead of dragging them around.

I have tried different codes but nothing works

Anyone know how I can do this ?
Thanks

How Do I Take Several BMP Images, Per Frame, And Lining Them Up?
Okay, I'm making an animation using Pivot Stickfigure beta 3 and I decided the best way I could do this is to save the animation as several different bmp images for quality look, this animation has well over 2500 frames and I'm not even close to done, I'm guessing that the animation when completed will run at least over 10 minutes. Anyhow I'm wondering how do I take those bmp (each has it's own frame) and align them up in the center?

Thank you.

Switching Images Within A Frame
Hi, total newbie and totally freaked out, did the search on google and did the search in online help, no use.

Seeking to switch images in a frame (without switching the frame of course). Like DynamicText allows to switch text.

Basically have numbered images which I want to call to the screen from an arrayed index, yes have a good idea of scripting and none of Flash.

Any pointers would be highly appreciated.

Scrollable Frame/Images
Hi, i have been registered on the forums for a while but havent made proper use of them. Sorry if this thread is in the wrong place.

My question is this, how do you create a frame-like object in Flash? In HTML its using the frame tags.

The reason for this is that i want to be able to have a scrollbar to show different images vertically.

Thanx

Text And Lines Appear Jagged In SWF. Why?
I guess this is a simple problem to resolve: when I publish my .SWF files, some of them (sometimes) appear with very poor quality lines and text when I view them in my browser. (I'm using standard fonts.)

When I click 'refresh' in the browser, the problem generally sorts itself out.

Any ideas why this might be happening? Is it something to do with the publish settings in the .fla movie?

Thanks in advance for your time and assistance.

Cheers

Dani

Jagged Picture...only After 2 Frames?
This is a very odd problem that iv'e never run across before in all my time with Flash...

I have imported a png into flash, and placed it on frame 1. It looked perfect on frame 1. However, it only looks perfect if there is only one frame, not two frames. If there are two frames, the png becomes jagged.

I have attempted to play with all of the different options within the properties of the image in the library, but nothing has changed it.

I have attached an example fla of just one image. First, test the movie with one frame as it is when you first open, then add one frame, and test again; you should see the jagged effect.

Thanks for reading my question.
