smooth picture enlarging

[Enfilade]

Does anyone know how the pics are staying so smooth in the intro animation on this site: http://www.laurengreenfield.com/

When I transform the image, large or small in Flash, it pixelates it...

Anyone know the secret??

Thanks

this is pretty obvious ,the resolution of those pictures are more than the stage size so when making them smaller it's still smooth
ofcourse key to smoothness is using vector art ;)
if u are looking forward to smoothness stuff u would better learn working with
Adobe Ilustrator and Adobe AfterEffects

Youre incorrect. First off, I am a professional in the stated programs, and I understand that when shrinking a picture you keep them smooth, but some of those are getting larger. This means that at its largest the picture is at 100% scale giving the cleanest image, but how are they so clean when they are small before they get larger. Thanks for the response but understand the question before you answer.

Actually Sepehr is correct and you (the professional) are incorrect.

I understand that when shrinking a picture you keep them smooth...

Do you really understand that? If so, you should understand that the only difference between an animation of an image getting smaller and an animation of an image getting larger, is the order of those images. Therefore there will be no difference in image quality between the 2 animations just because the order is reversed.

The only possible 'secret' to getting smoother results would be to use a high frame rate and to be sure 'allow smoothing' is checked in the image's library properties. But being the "professional" you are; you probably already knew those common solutions.

I'm pretty sure Sepehr was trying to tell you that using vector graphics is the only way to get perfectly clean scaling all the time and I'm also pretty sure he wasn't mocking your skills in those applications.

Nobody here gets paid to help you out. You should be a little more courteous to those offering you a possible solution. Even though they may be 100% wrong, they're sill trying to do you a favor.
