Hi,

I'm currently trialing FireStarter to add flash banners to websites and blogs i'm developing, and ran into this issue:
I want images to be displayed as they are without any quality loss.
When adding an image to a project the "JPEG Quality" bar is in the middle and there's quality loss. If I move the bar all the way to the right the quality is fine but the swf file's size increases siginificantlly.
For example, I add a 26.7 kb jpg file to a new project, move the bar to the right and the outcome swf file size is 233kb. This leads to hugh swf files which take a lot of time to load on websites.

Any way to just add an image as it is without tempering with its quality?

I don't think so. FS does produce hefty size swf files.
