tracing them and scaling them bigger than the original also creates a
pixelated effect in my experience - even at the best traced settings :o)

For windows . . .

I usually bring them into PhotoShop and save out to BMP then import those
into Flash.

If it looks good in PS, it will look good in Flash.

Your Flash publish settings may be the culprit here. Check your publish
settings. Read up on BMPs with Flash at MM site and your manual. Many many
variables exist . . . Flash is expert at vector, BMPS require tweaking.
Scaling them larger than the original is also a destructive pixelating
image
quality smasher . . . unless you apply a trace bitmap (may make the file
much larger though)

Many variables - trial and error.

Chapter6 Flash manual has much useful info.

I was wondering if anyone has had luck importing screen prints into Flash?
We have tried every conceivable format and techniques that I can think of
and still get messy looking results. If you get good results, please share
your technique. (We use HyperSnap for the captures.)
