<div class="IPBDescription">Having trouble making it an avatar</div> Hey I made an updated avatar in flash for teh forums. But I'm having a few troubles.
1) I can't shrink it down without it looking like crap. 128x128 it looks great. Any smaller and the lines are too big and black out the eyes and other small shapes. I COULD edit it pixel by pixel to get it right but I'd rather not - that takes forever.
All I need is to make the lines half the thickness in flash. Flash help is abysmal. Anyone know how?
2) I'm having trouble getting it from flash to an image. Flash image export screws up my shading. Jpeg works but it seems that gif would be better - my pic has less than 10 colors.
Can anyone help me?
Here's the 128x128 pic

Click on the lines you want to edit the thickness on and on the Properties tab (should be on the bottom) there should be a number next to the stroke color (the picture of the pencil), change that number to what you want it to be. Lowest it can go is .25
In easier terms...
