RE: Cast member visuals

[Roy Crisman]

And I tell you I've been using 55x41, 110x81, and 165x123 for quite a 
while.  They store as-is, don't lose pixels, fill the cast boxes on my 
screen fully, and are large enough to actually get some decent amount of 
info into them.  The Library Palette (once I figured out how to get that 
back up on the screen) images tend to use square 26x26 images....obviously 
not the regular rectangular cast-thumbnail size....dragging and dropping 
them into my cast gives me a lot of whitespace not only on the edges, but 
the top and bottom too, in the medium view.

I think the only standard size is that which matches the thumbnails in
the Behavior Libraries. I think thats 21 X 21 pixels off memory. There
is some scaling involved with your cast preferences, and the dimensions
of the source image. All of which play into the quality of the thumbnail
image. A good way to start is to copy a Behavior Lib thumbnail then
paste it into the Paint window. That will give you the most suitable
dimension.
