Flash quality question

When you right-click on a flash animation, you get a menu that among other things lets you pick the quality, usually low, medium or high. Why is this useful? I can see how you may want a lower quality animation in some situations for a quick download, but you can only access this menu after it’s finished downloading. So what good does it do?

If you have dial-up service just try the high speed video and report back tomorrow.

If you have cable take you pick, file size is proportional to quality, more or less.


“Beware of The Cog.”

This controls the quality of the antialiasing used in rendering the vector graphics that make up a flash animation. Antialiasing prevents the edges of shapes and lines from looking jagged. Low disables antialiasing, Medium enables fast antialiasing, and High enables high quality antialiasing. Turning down the quality improves rendering speed on slow computers.
