Name

_highquality Global Property — the rendering quality of the Player

Availability

Flash 4; deprecated in Flash 5 in favor of _quality

Synopsis

_highquality

Access

Read/write

Description

The _highquality global property stores an integer between 0 and 2 that dictates the rendering quality of the Flash Player as follows:

0

Low quality. Neither bitmaps nor vectors are antialiased (smoothed).

1

High quality. Vectors are antialiased. Bitmaps are antialiased when no animation is occurring.

2

Best quality. Both bitmaps and vectors are always antialiased.

As of Flash 5, _highquality has been superceded by _quality, which may be used to set a movie’s quality to “Medium”, as well as “Low”, “High”, and “Best”.
