16x16 png image looks blurry in flash mx at an integer x y position

Question

I have few small png images (16x16 px) when I place them on
stage it shoudl look best when placed at an integer x and y
position.
e.g. x=100 and y=50
But in MX it only looks clear when placed at an integer with
.8.
e.g x=100.8 and y=50.8.
In MX 2004 and later it looks best at integer values on
stage, as it should be. I didnt changed anything in the image
properties (smooth, quality, etc).
Is this a known Flash MX issue, any ideas?
Thank you.
