toggleHighQuality() Global Function

Flash 2; deprecated in Flash 5
toggleHighQuality()
Description
The toggleHighQuality() function switches between High quality and Low quality
rendering. When set to High, the Flash Player renders lines with antialiased (smooth)
edges. When set to Low, the Flash Player renders lines with aliased (jagged) edges. The
toggleHighQuality() function does not take any arguments; it simply switches between the
two possible settings—“High” and “Low”. This is problematic because it doesn’t explicitly
set the quality to a known setting, nor does it allow for more than two different possible
quality settings.
As of Flash 5, toggleHighQuality() has been deprecated in favor of the global
_quality
property, which supports Low, AutoLow, Medium, High, AutoHigh, and Best rendering
settings.
