Bitmap smoothing how to reduce image distortion

by admin on August 20, 2007

in Flash CS3,Sintax,Tutorials

I received more questions regarding the 3D image viewer .
Mainly, those questions was about the fact of expanding images with as less as possible distortion of the image itself.
Some emails would specify that the image used were of high resolution which is wrong to start with.

The trick to avoid the distortion of images used in animations is simply in the settings of one parameter.  In your flash library, if you right click on the image, you will find the option ‘Allow smoothing’.  Once that option checked, Flash will drastically reduce the image distortion during the animation.

Now, what should we do if the image is not placed in library but is externally loaded in runtime?

The answer is the property ‘smoothing’ of the Bitmap Class of Actionscript 3.0.

How can I get this to work with Photoshop PSD-files ?

Do you mean when you import PSD into Flash ?
Just select the image in library and enable the smoothing.

THERE’S the setting I was looking for! It worked beautifully: thank you for posting this.

This is great. I’ve had a lot of trouble going from Flash 8 to Flash CS4. Clients kept saying “why are the images so distorted?” I believe your advice to turn on “smoothing” will make a world of a difference. Thank you!
