Creating Interactive Movies > Using basic actions for navigation and interaction > Adjusting movie display quality
Adjusting movie display qualityAnti-aliasing requires a faster processor to smooth each frame of the movie before it is rendered on the viewer's screen, and thus it can slow playback. You can make a movie play faster by turning anti-aliasing off. To turn anti-aliasing for a movie on and off, you use the Toggle High Quality action. This action affects all movies playing back in the Flash Player. (You cannot adjust the movie display quality of an individual movie or movie clip in the Flash Player.)
A Toggle High Quality action assigned to a button lets the audience adjust the playback quality of the movie. The action switches anti-aliasing on or off. That is, clicking the mouse button once turns off anti-aliasing or turns it on if the movie already is low quality; clicking the mouse button again has the opposite effect.
For more information on choosing between appearance and playback speed, see the QUALITY
parameter in Editing Flash HTML settings.
To adjust the movie speed or playback quality:
1 | Select the frame, button instance, or movie clip instance to which you will assign the action. |
Selecting a movie clip adjusts the movie speed; selecting a button adjusts the movie playback quality. | |
