Bitmap (BMP)

This format lets you create bitmap images for use in other applications. The Bitmap Export Options dialog box has these options:

Dimensions sets the size of the exported bitmap image in pixels. Flash ensures that the size you specify always has the same aspect ratio as your original image.

Resolution sets the resolution of the exported bitmap image in dots per inch (dpi) and has Flash automatically calculate width and height based on the size of your drawing. To set the resolution to match your monitor, select Match Screen.

Color Depth specifies the bit depth of the image. Some Windows applications do not support the newer 32-bit depth for bitmap images; if you have problems using a 32-bit format, use the older 24-bit format.

Smooth applies anti-aliasing to the exported bitmap. Anti-aliasing produces a higher-quality bitmap image, but it may create a halo of gray pixels around an image placed on a colored background. Deselect this option if a halo appears.
