Flash Zoom Quality

I have a flash application in which I need to scale MovieClip. This MovieClip contains an image (in the bootloader) with a resolution of 1024x768 (which is also the size of a MovieClip).

When I want to scale this MovieClip to 80%, I do:

myMovieClip.scaleX = 0.8; myMovieClip.scaleY = 0.8;

The problem is that the resulting scaled image has aliases and is not of good quality. Is there a way to change the scaling algorithm used to get a better image? Or is there a better way to scale MovieClips?

I cannot rely on bitmap data because this MovieClip may contain another SWF with video, for example, and it should scale independently of its internal content.

Thanks.

Before scaling (or its container), you need to set the smoothing property on your bitmap . Also see this link: Bitmap.smoothing - how to reduce image distortion .

I can not comment on the accepted answer, but probably the second link is missing : Bitmap.smoothing - how to reduce image distortion

From the link: To reduce distortion when resizing a raster image, if it is loaded from the outside:

 var image:Bitmap=loader.content as Bitmap; image.smoothing=true;

If this is a bitmap from the library, just check its "Allow anti-aliasing" property
