This photo album product I'm working on is going great -- everything I've wanted to do I've been able to do with Revolution.

But I've come up against a problem -- it looks like the max height and width of a group is around 32,000.

Can anyone confirm this? If so, is there a work around?

This is true. Apparently there can be problems with some graphics cards if you go above 32,000. I encountered this in a project where I create a timeline from a database. The way I worked around it was to create groups that were no larger than say 5,000 pixels. These groups were stored inside of another group.


Main Group
    - Subgroup A (5,000 pixels)
    - Subgroup B (5,000 pixels)
    - Subgroup C (5,000 pixels)
    - etc.

I stored the combined width of all subgroups which might be like 50,000 pixels. In my custom scroll bar I would determine where in that 50,000 pixel wide timeline the user currently was and then display the appropriate subgroup(s). As soon as a subgroup moved out of the viewable area of the main Group then I would tuck it away off screen until it was needed again. This way you are never setting the loc of any object outside of the -32,000/32,000 limit.
