When we load image into flash, it is not smooth by default. When you rotate or transform the image you could probably get a pixelated effect. To make it smooth we can use the smoothing property newly added to Image class in as 3.0.

var _loader:Loader = new Loader();
_loader.load(new URLRequest("a.jpg"));
_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeHandler);
function completeHandler(e:Event){
e.target.content.smoothing = true
}

Here is the code i used in as 2.0, with the same effect:

function grabBitmap(mc) {
  var _mc = new flash.display.BitmapData(mc._width, mc._height, true);
  _mc.draw(mc);
  return (_mc);
}
target.replaceWithBitmap = function(mc) {
  var _mc1 = grabBitmap(mc);
  mc.attachBitmap(_mc1,1,"auto",true);
};
target.replaceWithBitmap(target);
