.fla looks good, clips run good, .swf looks squished and bad!

Hi,

I've got 3 bitmaps which I saved at highest res and imported into Flash. I made them into animated buttons. It all works fine with the background big enough, the movies playing nicely, etc. Viewing it in Flash (.fla) looks great but as soon as I preview it or export it into the swf format, it looks squished or parts look like they're covered up or something. I'm even exporting it without compression at 100%.

What could be causing it to look all awful when I export it or preview it?

Thanks!

It has nothing to do with the buttons, the bitmap looks great on the timeline and as soon as you preview it, it looks squeezed.

Any ideas?

Hey there,

I found the problem. It was the Flash 6 image shift bug. To rectify it, move the bitmap into the negative part of the symbol (top left of the cross hair). I had my bitmaps in the bottom right. For more information on the bug, see
Take care.
