I was wondering if there was a horizontal size limit to the scroller? I have a 13,500 px image scroll and it shows up only in red. My smaller test file of 1300 px works fine... Please let me know if there is a bug or a limit.

Thanks

Hello Steven,

You can’t display a picture of that size with Flash Player. The maximum dimensions of a bitmap in Flash Player 8/9 is 2880x2880 while in Flash Player 10 you can go up to over 16 million pixels ( 4000x4000, 2000x8000, etc. ). This limitation was set in order to prevent people from creating movies that would eat up large amounts of RAM. A bitmap that is 2880 x 2880 pixels, will use roughly 32MB of RAM.

I think that you should find a way to lower the dimensions of your image if you want to insert it into a flash movie. Also, either if you succeed to put a scroll on it, it would take an user to scroll about 10 monitors in order to see the whole picture. That’s not really practical.

Andrei,

Why is that not really practical. I want to do the same thing ~25,000 x 600 pixels. It's actually a series of images that really lend themselves to being presented this way. (In a long scroll). So what is the solution to loading up something this long? I would load them sequentially, or dynamically if I could, slicing it up ,and taking each image as I reached the end of the previous, but I don't see a way to load multiple files in order.

Hello,

Well if you want to use multiple images I think that is possible to listen to one of the events triggered by the scroller and load the pictures dynamically. What I am thinking at is to use a movieclip with 3 pictures in it, and you to have focus on the middle picture. If the user scrolls right, the picture from the left is removed, a new picture is loaded to the right and so you will have 3 pictures again. This is not tested yet, this is just an idea, I will try to make it work today. If you have suggestions feel free to post them.

Best regards,
