Since I am still using Flash 8 and Actionscript 2.0 (hopefully not the last man on earth), I figured I should post this bit of information so that it can be found on Google:If you are using bitmap smoothing with Flash 8, just realize that it works fine and dandy on your local machine, but will not smooth dynamically loaded images from other servers, unless you use a proxy.I spent something around 4 hours debugging my bitmap smoothing code before I found this out, so a word to the wise! Fortunately there is a fix using Flash 7 movie clip that looks really good and is very simple to implement.You can read all about it here:The Solution (Eureka!)

Hey Jason!
Thanks for the link to my website. I discovered this technique recently and it was very useful for my site since I had to dynamically resize the images according to the screen. I couldn’t open the link you have in your post. But my technique was basically to load in an image, right before it’s displayed, i take a snapshot of it using BitmapData’s draw method and swap that into the container of my original image.
