The Most Important Thing I've Found With Flash

Right nyah: this._quality = "best";

Especially when you're exporting stand alone exe's for use on like a
CD-ROM, cause if you go over around 3.5MB it'll automatically drop to
like "shit" quality by default. o_O

From what I can tell it takes longer to export, but it doesn't affect
the size and nor the rendering speed for that matter (although I'm on
a fairly speedy system). I'm assuming their "quality" settings are
just the form of image resizing (like bilinear/bicubic vs nearest
neighbor). Not sure what "best" is using, probably something like
Lanczos resizing.

Yeah, it can severely slow down the movie on an older movie if you have a
lot of bitmaps, but screw them... they should upgrade anyway!!! HAHAHAHAHA

If you import images directly into Flash without going through FireWorks
first it takes them in as flattened bitmaps.

You are aware that the surfer can change the quality of how he views the
Flash movie on his computer, right? Whatever you set is only the
default.

WRONG!

You, the deficient XXXXin loser who doesn't know shit about anything
cannot access "best" quality from a right click. The best you as the
XXXXin loser who doesn't know shit about anything can do is "low",
"medium" or "high".

Here ya go, grasshopper, see if you can't get a XXXXin cl00 already:
http://www.airtightinteractive.com/news/?p=37

Shit, XXXXin posers everywhere these days wanderin all the XXXX around
on Usenet with Geoshitties smears thinkin they know XXXX all about web
design. You don't know shit, Kid. What the XXXX are you even doing
replyin to my threads? I guess yer dumbass just doesn't XXXXin learn,
do ya? Cause I just gotta keep verbally poundin yer head into the
gawd damn Jesus killing wall, but it seems like no matter how much you
get slapped around like a XXXXX you just don't get it, do ya? You're
a loser kid. A unproducing, talentless, lil mama's boi who got beat
the XXXX down so much in high school it stunted yer growth. And
somewhere along the line yer dumbass got the family VCR to stop
blinkin 12:00, cause yer loser XXX didn't have anything better to be
doin on a Saturday night and suddenly yer great aunt Mildred and the
rest of the fam started singin yer praises, didn't they? Lil Fly
Poofter is a computer genius. Well guess what, kid? Yeah, you got
LIED to. Spastic tweenage muppet XXXXs hyped up on crystal meth have
got more skillz than you. You don't know SHIT about computers and you
never will either. You have about as much technical talent as a ditsy
blond has brains. You don't know XXXX all what you didn't slurp up
out of some half cocked Google search, so why don't you just get it
through that stupid XXXXin FAT head of yours? Yer a loser...you don't
belong here in these froups kid. You have ZERO to contribute, you
have ZERO creativity, you have ZERO talent and you have ZERO
potential. Give it the XXXX up man. I mean at least that fool whose
running that LowGenius site he's got potential, but you...you ain't
got shit, you never will. *shrugs*

You wanna XXXXin cry about it now? Go ahead XXXXX, XXXXin BAWL!

*shakes head*

Gawd damn stupid XXXXin posers, really startin to tick me off. `, \

furthermore, not only is he using the deprecated embed tag, in order to
attain "best" in HTML, you need to set it in the param tags. So he isnt
actually getting it at "best" anyway. Not to mention the fact that there
is absolutly no justifiable reason to have THAT at best quality. A high
res photo with zoom, maybe, but certianly not that.

>you need to set it in the param tags.

WRONG!

You need to set it IN the Flash file itself as an onload function like
nyah:
onLoad () { this._quality = "best"; }

Stupid XXXXin poser, DUMBASS.

My mistake.
Oh and by the way, when you incorporate flash into a HTML document like
you have, using quality=best, then yes, you need it in both the swf and
the htm files as I already pointed out to you.

Where the XXXX did I ever say that I was talking about the main
Backwater site? That site isn't even specifying any quality
parameters, you XXXXin DUMBASS.

Who the XXXX needs HTML...

*shrugs*

And before you make an even BIGGER moron of yourself, yes Virginia,
Google can spider Flash files, just as easily it can PDFs, Word
documents, etc, etc, etc. Wake the XXXX up and try and remember what
the gawd damn Jesus molesting century you're living in, Poserboi.
