dither

Syntax

member(whichMember).dither
the dither of member whichMember

Description

Bitmap cast member property; dithers the cast member when it is displayed at a color depth of 16 bits or less if the display must show a color gradation not in the cast member (TRUE), or tells Director to choose the nearest color out of those available in the current palette (FALSE).

For both performance and quality reasons, you should set dither to TRUE only when higher display quality is necessary. Dithering is slower than remapping, and artifacts may be more apparent when animating over a dithered image.

If the monitor's color depth is greater than 16 bits, this property has no effect.
