Example
The following example sets the rendering quality to
LOW:
_quality = "LOW";
"
HIGH" High rendering quality.
This setting is the
default rendering
quality setting that
Flash uses.
Graphics are anti-
aliased using a 4 x 4
pixel grid.
Flash Player 8: Bitmaps are
smoothed based on the
smoothing parameter used in
MovieClip.attachBitmap()
and
MovieClip.beginBitmapFill()
calls.
Flash Player 6 and 7:
Bitmaps are smoothed if the
movie clip is static.
"
BEST" Very high rendering
quality.
Graphics are anti-
aliased using a 4 x 4
pixel grid.
Flash Player 8: Bitmaps are
smoothed based on the
smoothing parameter used in
MovieClip.attachBitmap()
and
MovieClip.beginBitmapFill()
calls. When
smoothing is set
to "Best", the result is
rendered with higher quality
when the movie clip is scaled
down by the use of an
averaging algorithm. This can
slow down rendering, but it
allows high-quality
thumbnails of large images,
for example.
Flash Player 6 and 7:
Bitmaps are always
smoothed.
