preserving the original resolution of a nested bitmap

[eco_bach 0 Likes (Newbie)]

I have a 1920x1080 bitmap which I have scaled to fit in a much smaller 'thumbnail' MovieClip.

 

I then have scaled up this MovieClip to the bitmap's original 1920x1080 size.

Problem is the bitmap appears quite blurry.

 

Is there a way to preserve the original resolution of a nested bitmap when you scale this way?

I did a quick test and wasn't able to replicate this behavior.

 

Make sure your image is sitting on whole pixel values and that there is little or no compression.

 

Allow Smoothing will also ensure that the image doesn't get jittery while scaling.

 

attached is my sample

 

 

feel free to post a simple file that illustrates the behavior if you still have problems. I'm doubtful this is a GSAP problem or can be solved by GSAP.
