| _quality Global Property | Flash 5 |
| the rendering quality of the Player | read/write |
The _quality property stores a string that dictates the rendering quality of the Flash Player, as follows:
Low quality. Neither bitmaps nor vectors are antialiased (smoothed).
Start in low quality, but switch to high quality if the Player detects enough processing power.
Medium quality. Vectors are moderately antialiased using a 2 x 2 pixel grid.
Start in high quality, but drop to low quality if the Player detects poor performance (based on frame rate).
High quality (default). Vectors are highly antialiased using a 4 x 4 pixel grid. Bitmaps are antialiased when no animation is occurring.
Best quality. Vectors are highly antialiased using a 4 x 4 pixel grid. Bitmaps are always antialiased.
Lower rendering quality means that fewer calculations are required to draw a frame of the movie, resulting in faster performance. The typical setting of _quality for most movies is "HIGH".
Here we set the rendering quality of a movie to the best it can be (which also causes the slowest playback):
_quality = "BEST";
_highquality, toggleHighQuality( )
