My image gets messed up

[dub_beat]

Hi,

I've very rarely had to work with images before and dont know any "tips & tricks".

Basically I have a logo gif image.

When I place it on the stage it looks fine... no problem.

When I public my swf the image looses quality (jagged edges etc).

What would be common causes for this behavior and might you be able to suggest "best practices" for working with gifs?

Thanks,
dub

If you double-click that picture in the Library, what are the compression settings?

Lossless(PNG/GIF)?

In File->Publish Settings->Flash tab, what's the Quality setting set at?
