Property; a string that determines the type of image compression applied to the bitmap. Acceptable values are "photo" or "lossless". If the value of bitmapItem.useImportedJPEGQuality is false, "photo" corresponds to JPEG with a quality from 0 to 100; if bitmapItem.useImportedJPEGQuality is true, "photo" corresponds to JPEG using the default document quality value. The value "lossless" corresponds to GIF or PNG format (see bitmapItem.useImportedJPEGQuality (../BitmapItem_object/bitmapIte13.md)).

fl.getDocumentDOM().library.items[0].compressionType = "photo"; 

alert(fl.getDocumentDOM().library.items[0].compressionType);
