Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6
Example
This example sets the rendering quality of a movie clip named
my_mc to LOW:
my_mc._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 the
smoothing is set, the result
renders with higher quality
when the movie clip is
scaled down, by using an
averaging algorithm. This
can slow down rendering,
but it allows for applications
such as high-quality
thumbnails of large images.
Flash Player 6 and 7:
Bitmaps are always
smoothed.
NOTE
Although you can specify this property for a MovieClip object, it is also a global property,
and you can specify its value simply as
_quality.
