[F8] Quality Settings
Hi it's my first post on here so please bear with me, but basically I have uploaded my first flash website and I have encountered a few problems.
I have exported the movie for player 8, and have embedded fonts and components within the movie. When I view the site on any of my macs its fine and have viewed it on a fair few PC's too with no problems. But a couple of people have said to me that in one case (viewed on an Intel imac) the image tweens do not work and just flicker on screen and in another case when viewed on a PC the iamge and text quality is so poor the content can not be read.
I know each user has quality settings that can be adjusted but is there any way of forcing the high quality settings on every user so my site is viewed as it should be or is there another way around this?
I have been searching for answers but as of yet no luck
any help would be very welcome so thankyou in advance

FLV Best Quality Settings
I'm trying to encode a DV-AVI to an FLV without loosing any quality of the AVI. I'm having a bit of trouble though even encoding at a very high bitrate (above the rate of the AVI even) produces a video that has blocks and lines when played through flash. I've tried using both On2 VP6 and Sorenson Spark to no avail, along with the other programs out there that encode to FLV.
Any ideas on settings that can be used? I just need it to loose no quality, dont care how big it is, so long as it palys in flash.

Playback Quality Settings
Hello-
I am working in Flash CS3 and can not seem to get the "Quality" global actionscript setting to work. On the first frame, I have the following code:
import flash.display.StageQuality;
StageQuality.LOW;
I am not sure why, but the movie will not play back in Low quality mode when I open up the published projector. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Jpep Quality Settings Hassle
I have imported over 150 images into my flash document, all are jpegs.
Why is it that in the properites of each, some have the (tickbox) option to "Use Document default [quality]" whilst others have "Use imported quality]"... none have both options.
I have completed the site now, but am trying to produce some advertisements using the same library but have discovered i cant simply change the "Document default quality" in the "publish settings" window because the images which have the "Use imported quality]" option rather than the "Use Document default" dont change and Im forced to go into each once individually to do it manually.
This is an unbeliveable pain. because i need to produce many adverts of various sizes.
Does anyone know why this is happening and if theres a way round it?

Bug In The Publish Settings For Speech Quality?
Has anyone else had problems publishing with the speech feature for audio in flash? If I use mp3, the default, I have no problems, but whenever I use speech at any level Flash crashes on me. Without fail, this happens every time.
Is this a bug? I have imported the sounds into my library and properties are set to speech 22kHz (I've changed them around and played with that too).

Can 2 Swfs Co-exist With Different Quality Settings?
Hey guys,
Been trying to figure this out, hope some one can shed some light on this.
Picture this: a draggable movieclip with some animations in it. A set of navigation buttons that sit on top of the interface.
when I want to drag the movieclip, I'd want it to be in low quality so that the dragging is fastest at its speed. When I release the drag, it should go back to the high quality. I tried using movieclip._highquality = 1,2 and 0 but once I start dragging the movieclip, the ENTIRE swf is toggled to be low quality.
I thought that the above command only targets specific movieclips but apparently its a global effect? Can some one point out how to do this? I saw this useful effect on the very cool website http://www.coca-cola.co.uk/index.htm....uk/index.html Just drag the tower up and down to see the toggle quality effect... only the tower is affected but the other interface parts are still in high quality... how dudes? How?!

Different Quality Settings For Movieclips In A Movie?
Hello there,
I am searching a way to have different quality settings in a movie.
I have a Movieclip that should act as a color picker (just like the one in Flash). The problem is, when this movie is played at "high" quality, the color rectangles become blurry. On "low" quality, they are just fine, sharp edges and straight colors, so I want it to run on "low" quality.
Now I want to use this in another movie, via loadMovie(). But when I do this._quality="low" in the color picker movie, or palette._quality="low" in the other movie (palette is the name of the Movieclip that loads the picker), the complete movie is set to low quality and looks just ugly.
So, is there a way I can achieve this? I need that color picker unsmoothed.... Any suggestions appreciated.
Regards,
blemmo

Having Issues With Quality Settings And GIFs
First off, thank you to everyone who has helped me get this far.
The attached image shows the same XML photogallery, but at two different Quality settings. For some reason, at the setting of "High" my Imported GIF Files (with Allow Smoothing turned off, and placed on whole integer values), the GIFs/Buttons look crappy. As soon as the Quality setting is changed to "Low" the buttons look perfect.
Here-in lies the problem: I have tried to make some control buttons that will fast forward, go back and pause the animation and transition. Anytime I import these buttons, whether they are PNGs, GIFs or JPG's they look absolutely terrible. Obviously this is happening because the Quality setting is "Low," but it seems even if I change it to "High" that I am still not getting the exact image that I created in photoshop.
If more screen shots are needed, please let me know. I can attached an image of what the control buttons are supposed to look like as well if that helps (because its not either of the ones in this screen shot)?
Thanks in advance,
jason

Problem Displaying Flash Movie Due To Quality Settings
I developed what I thought was a very nice flash movie to embed in the page header of a client's website. I'm working on a prototype.
The web page header is a simple solid blue graphic with thin horizontal lines in it, which I developed in Macromedia Fireworks.
I had created a "TV" screen in the page header graphic file, cut and sliced the TV screen part out and embedded it in the flash file itself (I use SWISH to build my Flash movies), layering it on top of everything else so that it looks like the movie plays inside the TV.
When constructing the HTML page, I created a table using a background image of the simple solid blue/thin horizontal lines graphic and then inserted the flash file into the table and crossed my fingers. If it all worked perfectly the thin horizontal lines in the flash file would sync up perfectly with the thin horizontal lines in the rest of the table.
They didn't. And I can't figure out why.
But get this: if you right-click on the Flash movie and change the Quality from HIGH to LOW, the lines all sync up!!!. But the text in the movie looks terrible. Set it back to HIGH (you might need to refresh your browser) and the lines go back out of sync, but the text goes back to looking smooth.
What's going on here?
Why don't the lines in the movie sync up ALL the time???
I've published my example here for you to see:
http://www.westchesterinternet.net
You have to look real hard to see where the lines go out of sync on both the left and right sides of the flash movie.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank in advance.

Export Frame For Classes In Publish Settings Flash Action Script Settings
My preloader doesn't load until 100KB into the movie
and I figured out it's because it's loading my components
(I'm using 3 instances of a Media Display and of a Media Controller)
in the first frame.
So I changed the Flash ActionScript Settings (in the Publish Settings)
to Export Frame for Classes 2
which made the first frame much lighter -
an acceptable 10K
BUT that made my components act very badly.
Please help!
Thanks!

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

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?

When I publish, I don't want the .swf file to allow the user to resize the window, or have any menus at the top. Basically, give the user no control other than to watch the movie.
How do I do that?
