MovieClip._quality

Availability

Flash Player 6.

Usage

my_mc._quality:String

Description

Property (global); sets or retrieves the rendering quality used for a SWF file. Device fonts are always aliased and therefore are unaffected by the _quality property.

The _quality property can be set to the following values:

"LOW" Low rendering quality. Graphics are not anti-aliased, and bitmaps are not smoothed.
"MEDIUM" Medium rendering quality. Graphics are anti-aliased using a 2 x 2 pixel grid, but bitmaps are not smoothed. This is suitable for movies that do not contain text.
"HIGH" High rendering quality. Graphics are anti-aliased using a 4 x 4 pixel grid, and bitmaps are smoothed if the movie is static. This is the default rendering quality setting used by Flash.
"BEST" Very high rendering quality. Graphics are anti-aliased using a 4 x 4 pixel grid and bitmaps are always smoothed.

Note: Although you can specify this property for a Movie Clip object, it is actually a global property, and you can specify its value simply as _quality. For more information, see _quality.

Example

This example sets the rendering quality of a movie clip named my_mc to LOW:

my_mc._quality = "LOW";

Hi, i think, it's very very interesting that each movieClip can have different quality value. In that case we could try to use "low" level of quality in some movieClips we want render fast and without quality, and others has very quality to looks fine i the same movie.
I hope Flash player can do it in future (not far ;-) )
