[Flashcoders] BitmapData size limit

2006-10-05 Thread Dave Wood
Anyone know why the 2880 pixel limit for either width or height of a BitmapData object? If the intention is to limit the amount of memory required (2880 X 2880 pixels would require about 24 Mb), then the limit should be on the total size of the image surely. Or is there some other reason

Thanks for your response Micha this has to with other things. the 2880 px stuff is related to one single object, you can have as much object of that size as you want, as long as you have enough ram. I wanted to create an image object 3500 X 300 pixels which will take up about 4 Mb - but

Dave, I'm not sure if this is appropriate for your application, but I ran into a similar problem when creating a project using high-quality panoramic photos. The way I worked around it was by slicing up my image into 2880 px tiles, then re-assembling them with actionscript on the stage. Cheers,

It is a hard limit of object within Flash. It is similar to the hard limit of image sizes within Director as well. It has nothing to do with memory use but rather they way the app and player were programmed. Charles P. On 10/5/06, Dave Wood [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for your response
