Image

This defines a image symbol that can be used within the movie. This symbol can be used as an image referenced in an ImageFill of a Shape element, the image in an ImageShape, or exported as a symbol.

Attributes

id A unique name for the symbol within the movie.
TypeString
imageType The image format used to store the image.
Values
JPEGBits
JPEG image that all share same common JPEG header and is already stored in SWF format. This is an optimized format but should not be used unless it is known that the header for all JPEGBits images are identical. By default, all JPEGBits images found in a movie are exported as JPEG2 to external image files.
JPEG2
Standard self-contained JPEG image. This is a standard, non-interlaced JPEG image that does not contain an alpha channel. JPEG2 images can be stored as standard image files or as SWF movies.
JPEG3
JPEG image that also includes a stream of alpha colors. The alpha channel is not a standard JPEG feature so all JPEG3 images are stored as SWF movies.
Lossless
Standard GIF/PNG format. Lossless images can be stored externally as PNG images (if Java environment permits - see below) or as SWF movies. The capabilities for reading lossless images depend on the Java environment of the application. If Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) is installed, then BMP, GIF, FlashPix, JPEG, PNG, PNM, TIFF, and WBMP images are supported. If Java 1.4 is used then GIF and PNG are supported as a minimum. Otherwise if Java AWT is available then GIF is supported.
Default ValueJPEG2
resourceType The type of file used to store the image. An SWF format is an SWF file in which the image is already pre-processed and stored as SWF. Most commonly, this is as a result of a previous SWF decompilation. The first Image symbol found in the movie is used.
ValuesExternal

Default ValueExternal
