Importing screen dump as graphic

[simonWMC2]

Hi...

I have taken a screen dump of an application created in access. I then want to insert this shot into my flash document. The problem is it loses so much quality you can't read the text.

The picture is fine in photoshop or fireworks even as a jpg, but as soon as it is imported into flash the quality is so bad you can't read the text.

I have set jpeg quality to 100%, bt it makes little differance.

can anyone help?

Try importing as PNG, then in the Library > Properties... > Compression, choose "Lossless".

Thanks - unfortunately, it is still the same.

anyone have any other ideas ?

May be you're resizing the graphic in Flash - check the dimension of the graphic on Stage: is it the same as the original?

I don't think so, no.

If edit in fireworks, it says it is the same size. However - the quality when viewed in fireworks is good, but in flash it is poor....

sorry - i meant to say YES the dimension is the same.

The image is still poor quality....
