I loaded a large image in flash (4000 pixels+), I get a red box.
I reduced the side of the image 2000 pixels and it seems to work.
Is there image size limit on flash? How would an image thats 20,000 pixels wide work with in flash?

Jesus, what are you trying to achieve you madman?

a very large image that you need to zoom in to..

Wonder if you could break the image up into 2 pieces 2000px each and align them.

Before I continue, know this - I am shit at flash and know nothing.
But shouldn't you try and find a way to break up the 'master image' into chunks and load them as necessary, Google Earth stylee?

thats a good ideal but i am using someone else's script and it is designed for handling a single image..

I'm guessing this isn't a vector then.

i tried using SWF file to load all the images from cropped images but since the flash stage is limited to 2800 (?), I couldnt place them all in a single SWF

External image?
Uhm... i know for sure that there is a limit around 2000x2000 px on BitmapData Objects. Not sure that this applies also to external images.

yes i am loading it as an external image. and the limit still applies

there is a limit but I forget how large, try chopping your image up and sewing it back with AS. You might find that whatever you are doing runs a little faster if you only load the images you show

i bought this and tried it.

yes, external images have a size limit and it will chop off the excess. It's around 2660/2880 (around there) pixels in either direction.

Flash 8/9 constraints, which is simply a maximum size of 2,880 x 2,880, for a total pixel count of 8,294,400.

have you looked into this?
http://www.zoomify.com/it basically does what a bunch of the guys here have been saying (cutting image into pieces and placing them as needed via script)

Thanks!

tried Zoomify, not bad at all.

cool. i've used it before and it's pretty slick.

It is not as smooth but does the job of getting a large image in to manageable manner.
free stuff is not bad, not sure if its worth 129.
- yeah, the cost is it's biggest downfall unfortunately. the company paid for it here, so...lvl_13

i think if it was around $50 i think it would be good enough, then again, it comes with handy image resizer / complier, ...
