If I import a jpg into flash that has dimensions of 500 x 320, when it is imported it suddenly is resized to 265 x 170. For the love of god...why?

makes no sense at all. try testing w/ a blank movie and another jpg.

flash does that all the friggen time for me. it's just a quirk, i think. i've never found any legit reason.

did you maybe save the jpg in photoshop at a higher resolution than 72 dpi? For some reason flash doesn't seem to know that pixels are just pixels.

yep...paul has a point...i had a similar experience before.... long while ago.

no, i didn't save the jpg at anything above 72 dpi. I did some browsing at the flashkit boards and this does seem to be a common quirk (bug more like it).
One thing I have done to help matters is to not have so many layers of movie clips. I think somehow I was unintentionally resizing the movie clips. The problem hasn't gone away but at least the image is only resizing a bit now instead of massively.

maybe the jpeg was inside a movie clip and you had already scaled the clip before importing it?

try exporting as .png
i never had any problems with png files, plus they keep the alpha chanel too...

i was having the same problem too! if you press the reset button on the bottom right corner of the transform pallette, the image will become the original size.

I've had that happen before - It was only when I imported into an MC.
Make sure to place your .jpg and then go to the root level and select it(or the mc it's in) and then check the transform pallette and make sure it's at 100% then click inside to the next level and keep going on down to the .jpg level.
