Dreamweaver website with flash slide showing showing graphics poorly

Report · Aug 28, 2011

Hello,

I put this problem up in Dreamweaver and Flash and got some questions from couple people but no answer yet. Adobe tech support is only available mon though fri so thhey are not available, so I thought I would try here.

I have a flash slide show I built for a dreamweaver website that contains vecctor images that are losing quality when I run my domain site. I have tested the flash file in flash looks great. I have previewed in live view in dreamweaver graphics look smooth but when I load up my files to ftp to my host account and test from there the quality of the edges of the vectors is not smooth. I see lots of jagged edges and not sure why.

I test everything on my 24 inch monitor so the graphics are probably enlarged but even when I test the flash file in flash and the html file of my hard drive to a browser like firefox my graphics are smooth, so not sure if its resolution problem. also tested my website on my laptop which is a smaller screen 15 inch and the graphics look bad on the website from there too. Soi f it were a resolution problem I think the 15 inch screen would be showing the graphics smoothly not jagged. ?????

Does anyone have any ideas or could assist me with this problem? I

please keep in mind when tested in flash, dreamweaver (live view and firefox browser from my hardrive html files the graphics all appear smooth and good quality. its when I transferred them by ftp to host server files and preview there and enter in my website url that the quality of the graphics and text in the graphics is jagged in many areas.

I spoke with the domain tech support too but did not get the answer but some thoughful input.

The key answer to this problem was to import the files in the original native form ai not jpeg for the

vector illustrations which kept the quality of the text that was converted

with create outlines tool in illustrator to make each character its own independent graphic

to be independently scalable to maintain its quality. Since most of the problems I was having were related to the text inside each artwork was rendered poorly in the finished slideshow on my live website url. The digital photography images were never a problem. The commentary and feedback in the dreamweaver forum helped me to figure out how to resolve the issues I was having.

I just thought I would post here in case anyone was wondering.

import adobe illustrator files in native format ai not jpeg for the flash slideshow to render the images smoothly in the end result. The photoshop designed piece will have to be produced in 2 stages the images and layout imported from photoshop but create the text in illustrator to be able to use the create outlines feature making each text character its own independent graphic and then import to flash library and merge with the photoshop piece that way since the text is rendering distorted with just the photoshop jpeg or psd file with added text.
