A universal truth of flash is that stuff just needs to be on pixel to look good. Sometimes that's a total pain in the butt. You may get handed a flash file by someone who doesn't realize the importance of the rounded number, or you may just forget until its too late.

That's where you can play it like the Fonz and use our SnapToPixel flash extension. Written in JSFL (or jasofell, if you prefer), the command lives in "Commands -> SnapToPixel" and quite simply runs through all the keyframes on each layer and makes sure each object, text or movieclip is on pixel.

Keep in mind that this will not work on strait-up shapes because of the way jasofell treats them. There also may be a little hankiness if your object is rotated at all (at which point, snapping to pixel won't matter anyway).

Originally written a year ago, we've updated to work correctly with CS3. You can check it out at our google code page. And, if you're so curious, you can see the outrageously simple source code in our squidder svn.
