I have a small pixel arrow(3x5) drawn in PS that I import to Flash, but when I play the movie it is all blurred. Any suggestions on how to make a pixelarrow?

What format are you saving it in from PS?

Just out of interest, can you post a link to the graphic so we can have a look? I suspect it has been anti-aliased, but I don't know whether you've taken account of that....

I've tried different formats. .bmp, .gif and .jpg.

Here's a direct link to the arrow

Strange? :/

If you magnify it it's definitely anti-aliased - blurry edges.

Ahhrgh? I magnify it 16 times in PS, still can't see that it is antialiased? Can you post a arrow that isn't ? :)

It might not be in PS native files, but when you 'save as' it is.

Hold on a bit while I experiment...

OK, look the non-anti-aliased arrow:

Non-anti-aliased (http://www.snowdogdesign.co.uk/testloc/non-aa-arrow.gif)

And the anti-aliased (blurred) one:

Anti-aliased (http://www.snowdogdesign.co.uk/testloc/aa-arrow.gif)

(look closely - there is a difference. It's just that my arrows are 10x10 pixels. Yours being only 3x5 had almost every pixel altered by the anti-aliasing).
