I placed several jpeg images in my flash file, and they all appeared fine. But when i added a preloader to it, the images will turn out looking all omnipixelated.
Anyone know why this is so?
(this problem is most obvious if viewed at "Show All" state)
pretty please?

MX? movie clip load? question's a bit vague.
pixelated when you view? don't get 'omnipixelated' translates to 'all-pixelated'
..?

here's an example to better illustrate the problem. this swf is the image loaded without a preloader:

and here is the same swf with a preloader (cheesy) added to it.

hmm... are both the same to me... actually the preloader one looks like it has a bit more jpg compression added to it. maybe if you go into image properties and manually fix the compression to a certain level?
btw, saying "all omnipixelated" is a bit redundant aint it?

the one with the preloader actually looks better to me. but you should look at the flash's pixelshifting, which has been brought up millions of times.
there's alot of tricks that you can do to fix it.

i don't see no not redundancy

pixelshifting? can you elaborate on that a little?
- Sapphire0
btw both images are uncompressed

i see whats going on. one has image smoothing, the other doesn't.
question: in the preloader, is it preloading itself or loading a separate jpg file? ie, you don't have a loadmovie(jpegfile.jpg) in there do you?

nope. here's the code:
total = int(_root.getBytesTotal()/1000);
download = int(_root.getBytesLoaded() /1000);
if (total==download) {
tellTarget ("../") {
play ();
}
} else {
play ();
}

pasting a preloading code in here was kinda pointless for me to do. sorry about that.

help?

i don't see the problem they look the same to me. make sure smoothing is off. make sure compression is set to JPEG instead of gif/png and make "Use document default quality is checked". If you still see a problem then make sure you image info properties are all set to whole integers. In other words make sure your width, height, x, and y are whole integers.
