Syntax

    the movieImageCompression

Description

Movie property; indicates the type of compression that Director applies to internal (non-linked) bitmap members when saving a movie in Shockwave format. This property can be set only during authoring and has no affect until the movie is saved in Shockwave format. Its value can be either of these symbols:

Value | Meaning
--- | ---
#standard | Use Director's standard internal compression format
#jpeg | Use JPEG compression (see `imageCompression`)

You normally set this property in Director's Publish Settings dialog box.

You can choose to override this setting for specific bitmap cast members by setting their `imageCompression` and `imageQuality` cast member properties.
