FlashMX pixels vs Photoshop pixels?

[patroller]

In creating an animated Flash banner using a JPG graphic created in Photoshop 7, I set the flash document size to match the size of the backround graphic. According to PS 7, the image size is 503x90 pixels. This should fit exactly into a Flash document sized 503x90... yet when I bring the image into Flash, the image is about 2pix x 2pix smaller than the flash doc... this throws a border which causes the other images in the web page to not line up correctly.

Is this a known problem? Why doesn't Flash 503pix X 90 pix match with Photoshop's 503x90?

Thanks for your help.

What does the "Info" panel in Flash say about your banner's dimensions?

I have always had that problem. Never found a workaround. So I just always compensate with the graphics editor and ad the extra pixels.

A useful hint when trying to tween a jpg, gif, or png break it apart first. Remove 1 pixel from one of the corners after breaking it. Select the image again, save as a graphic. Only tween from 99% to 1%.

Image won't look as if it's rippling. Also good to do if the image is static and you will have tweening objects over a static image.

Anyways...rambling...

The pixel thing, big mystery, big big mystery
