Scalable swf's - how do they make them render so well?

Hi

I'm trying to make a scalable swf within which everything changes size according to browser width. Not where elements just move around, but all the elements scale in size too.

Mine looks all pixelated when I do it, but I have seen sites out there that look just as smooth no matter how you stretch the browser window.

How do they do this? Is it because their swf's contain vector only graphics, not bitmaps? If so, how do I convert my photoshop images to vectors?

Cheers

Yes, it's because they are using vector graphics for scaling, not bitmaps. So if you are using bitmaps (from PhotoShop or wherever) you are in for a lot of work. Very tough to completely and accurately trace and recolor bitmaps, converting them to vectors.

Ahh - so if vector art is the way to go, what format file should I be creating?
