Thanks for this tip; should be noted that you can use the loader as-is if you’re already attaching it. Just pull out the bitmap as described and set smoothing and it will affect the existing loader contents — exactly what I needed to do!

Thanks!! I was doing a scroller for a client which had Loaders embedded in an mc and couldn’t work out why turning the mc’s smoothing on didn’t smooth the images. This worked perfectly :)

Neat. I love little shortcuts like that.

Good post, this seems to be an easy (but important) point to overlook. It’s worth noting that you can actually smooth loaded images in a single line:

Bitmap(myLoader.content).smoothing = true;
