  Anyone have any info on creating very large Flash movies
  9984px X 1280px is the size I need to work with.

  I have tried to create a file a quarter of the size and then scaled it up in the HTML, but the flash player won't render the last 1500px once it gets this large.

  Any way to 'stitch' together multiple flash movies? Any other ideas?

  Any help would be much appreciated

  It is for 13 40" LCD monitors side by side in a lobby. Ideally, I want to treat it as one giant display ,but I have feeling I will have to break it into groups.

  Mimio, I am afraid you are right. I am wondering if there is a way to get around that 2880 max.

  Until today I have been focused on hardware limitations. I thought Flash was up for the challenge since vectors should scall up to whatever size I need.

  Even if you set it up to scale, it wouldn't matter flash will only play fullscreen on one monitor. You'd have to make an exe and hand scale it out to the other monitors, by dragging the flash exe window.

  make it to scale and then just full screen it using as

  Stage functions in actionscript

  If its vectors it won't mind being scaled.

  Yeah, cant you just make the SWF, then open it up on the display and just make it full size that way?

  if your main stage is scaled can you load in content at its native resolution, or will it be scaled too?

  scarabin, there will be video content produced in AE, but I also need to pull in dynamic data from the web.

  when we did the proposal for this it was on 4 screens. the architects thought it would be better 13 so now I gotta figure how to make this woork.

  anyone familiar with this

  If this is a video wall installation (which is what it sounds like), you can make the file waaaaaaay smaller and let it scale. The viewer is typically very far from these installations and so the resolution kinda works like a billboard (extra crappy but looks high-quality).

  Yes? No?

  Sort of TR. It will be in a large hospital's main lobby. On it will be the names of donors and video segments about the hospital and individual stories. So people will be able to walk right up to it if they want.

  The only thing you need to work on is making all the LCD's act as one single monitor. The rest is just a matter of full-screening the flash. Nothing complicated about it.

  that is what I thought, fate, but I had never run into these size issues with Flash before.

  The hardware may be solved. We have this engineering team working on it

  put four of those in a server and we should be good to go.

  I did this same type thing for a client with dual 53" plasma screens in there lobby.

  make the Flash file at whatever scale you want: the trick is you will need a special converter box that evenly distributes the one image (flash file) to the 4 screens. the special converter box will evenly divide the image so that it plays on all four screens as if it were one large screen.
  we found a tech guy at Circuit City that knew how to do this and hired him to the tec of it.
