Good Day,

Im a rookie that created a CD presentation with Swish (its just like flash) and added some images of my work from print & web that Ive created. I noticed when I played the CD on a 800x600 rez screen the images seem clear & when I play the CD-ROM on a 1024x768 rez monitor some of the pictures look slighty distorted & gritty (especially some of the text).
The images are converted/exported from thier original formats: CorelDraw (business card), Photoshop (Label), FrontPage (website) into jpg format & inserted into Swish. Is there a tutorial that will help me get around this image distortion on CD-ROM situation. Ive played other CD-ROM's on my computer and thier images seem clear.

Thanks for the help

when you enlarge bitmap photos and graphics, they're blurry and distorted-- there's no way around it short of converting it to a vector format.

Flash really isnt designed for bitmaps. Also just so you know, when you export a flash movie at a fixes size (lets say 800x600), if you maximise it on a computer that has a resolution (lets say 1024x768), the flash movie will scale from the original size. This is one the reasons thats causing your pictures to be distorted.

The second reason is probably compression. By default flash compresses images by 50% as a global setting. You change the global setting as your exporting. To do each one individually double click on the image on your library. Uncheck "allow smoothing" and "use imported JPEG data"

Thanks for the info
