Synopsis
_quality
Access
Read/write
Description
The _quality
property stores a string that
dictates the rendering quality of the Flash Player as follows:
- “LOW”
Low quality. Neither bitmaps nor vectors are antialiased (smoothed).
- “MEDIUM”
Medium quality. Vectors are moderately antialiased.
- “HIGH”
High quality. Vectors are highly antialiased. Bitmaps are antialiased when no animation is occurring.
- “BEST”
Best quality. Both bitmaps and vectors are always antialiased.
Lower rendering quality means that fewer calculations are required to
draw a frame of the movie, resulting in faster performance. The
typical setting of _quality
for most movies is
"HIGH"
.
Example
Here we set the rendering quality of a movie to the best it can be (which also causes the slowest playback):
_quality = "BEST";
