Do you have problem: Low-readability?

Solution: Change font smoothing in photoshop.

Try this (adobe photoshop CS4 interface) and find the best smoothing option:

Choose font smoothing

 (None, Sharp, Crisp, Strong, Smooth) 

Depending on factors like font, background, font size, font color , you have to choose the best option.

Closer look

Always try different options, sometimes sharp will be too pixelated, smooth will be too blurry.

Other CS4 BUG.

BUG APPEARS: when you trying to optimize bitmap in library (changing JPG compression level).

BUG RESULT: Errorous bitmap  (disappearing , flickering, blinking,…) in final SWF file or in flash preview.

SOLUTION: Save (with optimized jpg), Close (FLA with bug), Re-Open FLA, Re-publish. Result must be OK.

If you see the same problem with other JPG try again (each time this bug appears do the same operations).

Choose JPG first (later check with GIF/PNG)

This option is default, but we must use Custom

1. Choose JPG compression 2. Press TEST button 3. Look at result. 4. Check size in kBs. USE DIFFERENT JPG QUALITY SETTINGS for best quality/size results
