 Flash Distorting loaded images?

Ok, I’ve been searching forums and whatnot for the solution to this but haven’t come across an answer yet so I figured I’d post to see if anyone in blogland can help.

Basically, it seems that flash is distorting jpgs when they are loaded into a blank clip with loadMovie. Here’s an example. image has a 1px black border in it.

This is the actual image, everything’s fine:
feature.jpg

This is how it looks after loading into flash:
bad.jpg

Notice the black border on top and left is thicker and its disappeared from the bottom.

There is nothing messing with any properties( _width, _height, _xscale, _yscale) of the clip that is recieving the jpg, or any of its parent clips.

Has anyone come across this before?

I had a similar problem before. This can generally be fixed by using the

_quality = "BEST";

command on the first frame of the movie, or alternatively in the HTML that you are embedding your flash in.

This tells the player to antialias all visuals in the player, (I belive the setting of “high” doesn’t antialias Bitmaps).

Hope it helps
