Actually you can use images greater then 2880 pixels in width.
I've made some scroller once that used image more then 3600 pixels in width.

If you made the rectangle the same size as your sprite - there would
be no scale9 to speak of. It has to be smaller than the mc. You know
how it works from implementing it in the IDE, so you know that there
must be outside area that is left untouched, the interior does the
scaling.

With SSL, you need to use POST to send info, since Flash uses the browser's
POST transport for it, so the browser handles the encryption.
If you're using PHP and Sessions, you need to set your session_cache_limiter
in your PHP.INI (or using ini_set) from none to public or private, or
nothing
I've had good luck with SSL and HTTP Basic across all platforms. As you
say, it is handled by the browser. I have run into problems using Flash's
WebService components over secure connections when testing within the IDE.
If you're testing on a web server, you should be fine.
