There are two solutions to this problem:" Choose Disable PostScript in the Print Margins dialog box (Macintosh) or inPreferences (Windows), and try printing again.This can slow down printingconsiderably, but it should solve the problem.(For information on settingpreferences, see  Flash preferences on page 111.)" Simplify your drawing.Printing problems are typically caused by a single largearea of color with complex borders.You can solve this problem by dividing thecomplex area into several simpler areas.Use Modify > Curves > Optimize toreduce the complexity of such areas.Also note that Flash cannot print transparency (alpha channel) effects ormask layers.Flash Basics 109Speeding up movie displayTo speed up the movie display, you can use commands on the View menu toturn off rendering-quality features that require extra computing and slowdown movies.None of these commands have any effect on how Flash exports a movie.To specifythe display quality of Flash movies in a Web browser, you use the OBJECT andEMBED parameters.The Publish command can do this for you automatically.Formore information, see  Publishing Flash movies on page 319.To change the display speed:Choose View and select from the following options:" Outlines displays only the outlines of the shapes in your scene and causes alllines to appear as thin lines.This makes it easier to reshape your graphicelements and to display complex scenes faster." Fast turns off anti-aliasing and displays all the colors and line styles ofyour drawing." Antialias turns on anti-aliasing for lines, shapes, and bitmaps.It displays shapesand lines so that their edges appear smoother on the screen.This option drawsmore slowly than the Fast option.Anti-aliasing works best on video cards thatprovide thousands (16-bit) or millions (24-bit) of colors.In 16- or 256-colormode, black lines are smoothed, but colors might look better in Fast mode." Antialias Text smooths the edges of any text.This command works best withlarge font sizes and can be slow with large amounts of text.This is the mostcommon mode in which to work.110 Chapter 2Flash preferencesFlash allows you to set preferences for general application operations, editingoperations, and Clipboard operations.To set Flash preferences, you use the Edit > Preferences submenu.See also Choosing drawing settings on page 133.To set preferences:1 Choose Edit > Preferences.2 Click the General, Editing, or Clipboard tab, and choose from therespective options.To set general preferences, choose from the following options:" For Undo Levels, enter a value from 0 to 200 to set the number of undo/redolevels.Undo levels require memory; the more undo levels you use, the moresystem memory is taken up."
