Why does Flash resize images coppied...

Hi Everyone,



I have images in photoshop that are exactly 700 X 298 pixels.
However, when I copy and paste them into Flash, Flash actually
changes the dimmensions to 700.1 X 297.6.



I don't understand. I have all my Flash compression set to
100% and best, 32 Bit, etc. Do you know why this happening?



Thanks :)

copy and paste is never the best option between programs -
try File %26gt; Import. What's the dpi?

In addition to Chris's suggestion, open the library and drag
drop from the

library to stage. Sometimes files of different resolutions
will appear smaller

if directly imported to stage for the first time.


Thanks for the help guys. I figured out that copy/paste was a
lossy proposition and that if I wanted to use images in Flash, and
not lose quality, I needed to use .pngs, which also allow me to use
transparent images. So, I'm saving out my images as png files and
then importing them into Flash's library.



Thanks for the help! :)
