Wow that's sort of not cool but great to hear I am not losing my mind. Thanks! :) So what I am doing is basically loading a 15Kpx wide gif or jpg image and using it as a film strip. (Legacy data format that I can't really change) And I am trying to render subsections of that image by sliding it through a viewable region. So what it seems is going on is that it renders the image, clips it, and then displays the visible region and applies a mask over the rest. However the render fails so the rest of the steps are just wasted cycles. I have a fix to just chop the image in half prior to loading it.. But since I am not the only one with this problem, I was wondering if there are known strategies I don't know of to get around this "feature".
Also to help your page out a little more. I think when embedding the image into the swf fails at a smaller width for some reason. Loading it at runtime from an external source seems to allow larger files. No scaling is going on. -Greg ----- Original Message ---- From: Daniel Freiman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, November 2, 2007 7:10:25 AM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Maximum Image Width able to be displayed The 8191px limit has been confirmed. The 2880 limit is on instantiating BitmapData objects, but the player allows for the existence of BitmapData objects larger than 2880. So if you can get the player to create a BitmapData object for you that is larger than 2880 then you're in the clear. I'm keeping a running list of known limitations here: http://nondocs. blogspot. com/2007/ 05/faqlimitation s.html - Dan Freiman On 11/2/07, Jon Bradley <[EMAIL PROTECTED] l.com> wrote: On Nov 2, 2007, at 3:11 AM, greggiacovelli wrote: Hi, I have been trying to figure out a way around this for a few weeks. It seems there is an undocumented limit of around 8192 px wide images that can be rendered inside of the flash player. Is this an undocumented limitation or is there a way to get around it? I believe that is correct. I think the maximum addressable space in Flex is around that number. Someone from Adobe may be able to confirm/debunk that ... I assume you're loading a bitmap smaller than that then scaling it up? Didn't think you could load a bitmap larger than 2880. cheers, jon <!-- #ygrp-mkp{ border:1px solid #d8d8d8;font-family:Arial;margin:14px 0px;padding:0px 14px;} #ygrp-mkp hr{ border:1px solid #d8d8d8;} #ygrp-mkp #hd{ color:#628c2a;font-size:85%;font-weight:bold;line-height:122%;margin:10px 0px;} #ygrp-mkp #ads{ margin-bottom:10px;} #ygrp-mkp .ad{ padding:0 0;} #ygrp-mkp .ad a{ color:#0000ff;text-decoration:none;} --> <!-- #ygrp-sponsor #ygrp-lc{ font-family:Arial;} #ygrp-sponsor #ygrp-lc #hd{ margin:10px 0px;font-weight:bold;font-size:78%;line-height:122%;} #ygrp-sponsor #ygrp-lc .ad{ margin-bottom:10px;padding:0 0;} --> <!-- #ygrp-mlmsg {font-size:13px;font-family:arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;} #ygrp-mlmsg table {font-size:inherit;font:100%;} #ygrp-mlmsg select, input, textarea {font:99% arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;} #ygrp-mlmsg pre, code {font:115% monospace;} #ygrp-mlmsg * {line-height:1.22em;} #ygrp-text{ font-family:Georgia; } #ygrp-text p{ margin:0 0 1em 0;} #ygrp-tpmsgs{ font-family:Arial; clear:both;} #ygrp-vitnav{ padding-top:10px;font-family:Verdana;font-size:77%;margin:0;} #ygrp-vitnav a{ padding:0 1px;} #ygrp-actbar{ clear:both;margin:25px 0;white-space:nowrap;color:#666;text-align:right;} #ygrp-actbar .left{ float:left;white-space:nowrap;} .bld{font-weight:bold;} #ygrp-grft{ font-family:Verdana;font-size:77%;padding:15px 0;} #ygrp-ft{ font-family:verdana;font-size:77%;border-top:1px solid #666; padding:5px 0; } #ygrp-mlmsg #logo{ padding-bottom:10px;} #ygrp-vital{ background-color:#e0ecee;margin-bottom:20px;padding:2px 0 8px 8px;} #ygrp-vital #vithd{ font-size:77%;font-family:Verdana;font-weight:bold;color:#333;text-transform:uppercase;} #ygrp-vital ul{ padding:0;margin:2px 0;} #ygrp-vital ul li{ list-style-type:none;clear:both;border:1px solid #e0ecee; } #ygrp-vital ul li .ct{ font-weight:bold;color:#ff7900;float:right;width:2em;text-align:right;padding-right:.5em;} #ygrp-vital ul li .cat{ font-weight:bold;} #ygrp-vital a{ text-decoration:none;} #ygrp-vital a:hover{ text-decoration:underline;} #ygrp-sponsor #hd{ color:#999;font-size:77%;} #ygrp-sponsor #ov{ padding:6px 13px;background-color:#e0ecee;margin-bottom:20px;} #ygrp-sponsor #ov ul{ padding:0 0 0 8px;margin:0;} #ygrp-sponsor #ov li{ list-style-type:square;padding:6px 0;font-size:77%;} #ygrp-sponsor #ov li a{ text-decoration:none;font-size:130%;} #ygrp-sponsor #nc{ background-color:#eee;margin-bottom:20px;padding:0 8px;} #ygrp-sponsor .ad{ padding:8px 0;} #ygrp-sponsor .ad #hd1{ font-family:Arial;font-weight:bold;color:#628c2a;font-size:100%;line-height:122%;} #ygrp-sponsor .ad a{ text-decoration:none;} #ygrp-sponsor .ad a:hover{ text-decoration:underline;} #ygrp-sponsor .ad p{ margin:0;} o{font-size:0;} .MsoNormal{ margin:0 0 0 0;} #ygrp-text tt{ font-size:120%;} blockquote{margin:0 0 0 4px;} .replbq{margin:4;} --> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
