Description

(Optional) Specifies the level of anti-aliasing to be used during playback of your movie. Because anti-aliasing requires a faster processor to smooth each frame of the movie before it is rendered on the viewer's screen, choose a value based on whether speed or appearance is your top priority:

Low favors playback speed over appearance and never uses anti-aliasing.

Autolow emphasizes speed at first but improves appearance whenever possible. Playback begins with anti-aliasing turned off. If the Flash Player detects that the processor can handle it, anti-aliasing is turned on.

Autohigh emphasizes playback speed and appearance equally at first but sacrifices appearance for playback speed if necessary. Playback begins with anti-aliasing turned on. If the actual frame rate drops below the specified frame rate, anti-aliasing is turned off to improve playback speed. Use this setting to emulate the View > Antialias setting in Flash.

Medium applies some anti-aliasing and does not smooth bitmaps. It produces a better quality than the Low setting, but lower quality than the High setting.

High favors appearance over playback speed and always applies anti-aliasing. If the movie does not contain animation, bitmaps are smoothed; if the movie has animation, bitmaps are not smoothed.

Best provides the best display quality and does not consider playback speed. All output is anti-aliased and all bitmaps are smoothed.

The default value for Quality is high if this attribute is omitted.
