Question

I have a bitmap loaded in flash, for a 2D game. The bitmap represents a character and is rotating when the user uses the A (left) or D (right) keys. The problem I have is that the border of the image becomes ugly while rotating, you can see “pixels” (you can always see pixels, but I hope you understand what I mean).

How can I fix this in actionscript 3, maybe change the rotation algorithm or “fix” the image after rotation? Or should I save/render the image differently in eg. Photoshop before using it with Flash?

Update: note that the background of the game is constantly changing.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

use the flash.display.Bitmap::smoothing property … the langref specifies, it smooth’s when scaling, but it works for rotation as well …
