you mean the pixel stretching??
- schjetne0
Probably what he means, yeah. Everything else looks okey...
I get the same shit from time to time too. I haven't found any other fix yet than to do it dynamically, or to make the pictures small enough to fit on a single work board (or whatsitcalled)...

Is that how the famous "WWFT-style" pixelstretch was accidentally invented?
Because of a MM flash-bug?
- err0
Yeah they are 270x240 px imgs and they are actionscripted to slide across the screen. I don't want it to scale. Whats up? You guys getting the effect on the 5 img like me?
- schjetne0
You got iy 3cY. Except it was in fact Toke and Mschmidt that "invented" it.
I use 45 degree cornered pixelstretched with seminude vector chicks (read: traced from porn) all the time now.

oixel stretch gone mad, it has happened to me too.
my guess is that, everything outside the flash application area (when you zoom and zoom and zoom out till you cant no more, whatever is outside of that area)
gets stretched.thats more or less what i think.
- schjetne0
err, yeah sure. Everybody gets that effect.

Wanna point me in another direction to SIMPLY navigate 20 in a 270x240 movie. The movie is going to be placed in my website http://www.emikey.com
Thx for the help guys

surfito, that's when it happens in my flash files too.
Now would someone please answer my php question in that other thread?
- err0
damn I gotta stop using flash.
- abizzyman0
that's why whenever I used rasters inside flash I set my publish settings to 'no scale'... or else you'll always have that issue.
- unknown0
so that's it..
*boy this thread grows fast all of a sudden*
My apologies to the real inventors of the pixelstretch.....
- schjetne0
This issue has got nothing to do with the scaling. He doesn't mean that the pictures look pixelly. Investigate closer, and you'll find the pixel stretches.

you might be referring to this bug...
bitmap distortion problems

Yes, we know this is a bug and a quite pressing issue for a lot of
people. We refer to it as the 'bitmap wrapping bug'. The last minor
revision of the Flash player fixed the 'bitmap shifting bug' which
occured on 32bit displays and varied alpha values or masked bitmaps. You
usually saw this shifting when fading in bitmaps. The 98% alpha
workaround usually fixed this issue while having a impact on overall
performance (anything with alpha is drawn with a performance hit).The 'bitmap wrapping bug' will be fixed in one of the next major Flash
player releases. Why major version you will ask?Unfortunatly this is a bug which will require a change in your .fla
files in many cases. Most authors apply a workaround on the stage, e.g.
cut off one pixel row from their bitmap or use the transparent border
workaround. We do not think it is acceptable to expect people to change
their .fla files for a minor revision and remove workarounds.For the sake of stability and backwards compability the fix will only be
applied for new content. You will have to deal with issue for <= 6.x
Flash content.Personally I really feel your pain, I had to deal with this myself. It
makes features like dynamically loading JPEG files quite limited. We are
commited to address the issue though and I welcome any feedback on this
issue or any other issues with bitmaps you might have. The earlier we
can get our hand on test files to verify our fixes, the better.A more technical explaination of what happens: Due to the fact that we
use 16.16 fixed point integer values for our tranformation matrixes,
some bits get lost during some operations, namely matrix
multiplications. Usually the TX and TY field of a transformation matrix
should be both 0 for the most common case. Because of the inaccuracy it
becomes 0xFFFFxxxx internally which at the end gets rounded off to -1
instead of 0. This is why the bitmaps are shifted by one pixel. This
also only happens if you use antialiasing.

jawbreaker:
No, that's another quite annoying issue. I've tried to fix THIS problem with THAT fix, but it doesn't seem to work.

K10k didn't come up with the pixel strech. I remember when they put it on their old site saying it was a new thing they'd been seeing around.
Some early example is from the TPC who had it on one of their firstpages. But also, Corel's powerpoint-like program had a transition that did it. and it's a very old style thing.For that flash thing, just do it a different way and it'll probably work fine.
