Actionscript 3 :: What Are The Actual Limits Of A Bitmap In Flash
Nov 18, 2010
As I can read it from this article the maximum square bitmap Flash can handle is 4,095 x 4,095 (which results in 16,769,025 pixels and bla-bla-bla). So, they say if I try to go to 4,096 x 4,096, I'll fail. But I have tried to load and display a bitmap image sized 4,096 x 4,096, and it worked well. Then, I even tried an image sized 5000 x 5000, and that was alright too. What do I not understand? What are the actual limits and how to calculate them?

If we have a Bitamp with more than 16777216 pixels (or one side larger than 8191 px) Flash 10 doesn't show it (Flash 9 and earlier has smaller limits even).One solution to this is to use scrollRect to limit the size displayed.OK, that works.
But Flash 10 has another problem, if we use any 3D property (rotationX, z, etc), flash transforms your MC in bitmap, so we can reach the above limit even when we are not working with bitmaps...A bigger problem is that although our MC could be really small (at least less than 16777216 pixels), when we apply a 3D transform like rotationX, the displayed MC can grows enough to reach the limit. And... we can't use scrollRect with 3D MC. But we have a trick here too, there are two ways to use scrollRect with 3D:
1. Create a 2D parent, then create the 3D displayObject inside of that parent.
2. Set cacheAsBitmap to true for the 2D parent.
3. Create a grandparent container to hold the first two items.
4. Set cacheAsBitmap to true for the grandparent container.
5. Apply scrollRect to the grandparent container.
These methods are really differents, with the second I couldn't use scrollRect to avoid reaching the bitmap limit. I think that's because in the second we apply scrollRect to the parent and 3D to the child, so nothing breakes our child from growing.With the firs method we apply scrollRect to the child, and the 3D property to the parent.
Code:
var p: Sprite = new Sprite();
var c: Sprite = new Sprite();
p.addChild(c);

I'm been working on a large-scale Flash game for the past 13 months, and a few months ago I was encountering an error message when trying to export saying, "Error creating Flash movie. There was not enough memory available." Here is a screenshot <url...> This isn't due to large videos or photos in the file, it's because theres a huge amount of frame by frame animation, so I can't just reduce quality.
I was off of a crappy laptop so at first I just bought a new computer with tons of ram because I didn't realize the software was an issue. This did not change anything (though I can run flash with less lag).
Then, I decided to do as much optimizing as I could. After a few months, all opimization possible as been done, and I have reached the point where I get the error again.
Then, I decided to cut the main file up into smaller pieces and link them together. This worked, but now some individual pieces require too much memory and get the error.

tell me the limits of Flash CS5. For example, the largest square bitmap allowed is 4,095 x 4,095 pixels. MovieClip's Height? Width?

I get this out put (each row is a different element) and I don't know how to convert it in to a readable value.
it should be number with 9-10 digits. from what I have seen in other sites regarding this specific data (this is the value of the tempo in a midi file) - it looks something like this: "tempo is 06 96 27 (in hexa format)"
these values are ByteArray type. how do I convert them to the readable numbers (or perhaps they contain text)?

I have made an analog clock in adobe flash CS5 and want to make it a proper application. When i create an exe file it will run in flash player or firefox etc., which i dont want. Visual Basic 8 could not help me either.
So my question is: How do i make a real, self running and self installing application for this flash clock?
There are hundreds of clocks to download on the net, which run on there own and do not open in flash player. How is this done?

I'm working with cart software called PinnacleCart. It's a pretty good system, I use it mainly because of the flexibility in the attributes fields, and our products require alot of customization. The obvious solution here is to add in a Flash customizer, to make it easier for prospective clients to see the changes being made to the items. Inside of the cart software I can select images to upload. I thought about stripping out the validation so I can upload .swf files (edit the product page php to embed if it's a swf file) and go from there.
Now here is the tough part, for usability reasons I want to remove all the actual attribute options - So the logic is simple, if SWF = true then don't display attributes. So, from here I assume when the person clicks 'add to cart' I need to run some javascript to grab the attributes from flash, assign them to the javascript attributes, then proceed as normal.

Ive tried looking in a whole bunch of threads for a solution to this probably common issue but to no avail.I have a bunch of objects of same type on the stage which are generated through code.Inside these objects which are generally at x=300 on the stage.
Code:
this.x+=2.3;
trace(stage1.localToGlobal(new Point(this.x,this.y)), ", ", this.x , " ", this.y);
stage1 is the stage object I pass into my class.The trace output is as follows
(x=2.3, y=0) , 2.3 0
Now im expecting some values in there somewhere to indicate its actual location on the stage, ie, x=300.This isnt happening.Whats the correct syntax i should be using.

I have a problem positioning a Flash element inside a div tag. The problem is, that the flash element is changing it's size based on the user input. I need a way how I can dynamically get the actual size of the flash element, and to change the behavior of the div element the flash is integrated in. actually I want to place it in the middle of the div. right now I gave the flash element width and height of 100% but that way I can not center the element inside the div...

I'm using a very wide object in Flash CS3, and I didn't have a problem with the pasteboard automatically expanding to contain it in Flash 8 Pro, but apparently CS3 has limits as to how far it'll let the pasteboard expand, -2880 px to 3620 px or thereabouts. This means I have to move my object off of x:0 y:0 to work with it. This won't kill me, but it does seem to be a step down from Flash 8. Anyone have any news on why this change was made, and if there's any way to correct it?

I am doing an animation with a movie clip that needs to follow the mouse on the Y axis only smoothly and needs to stay inside a fixed dimension. (e.g. the mc could moves 200px left or 200px right maximum) And I want it to stop smoothly too when it reach the limits.

I would like to implement an inspection time task using Actionscript. The idea is to dynamically change the time interval between masked and unmasked images based on user responses. The "inspection time" is defined as the interval at which the user achieves certain accuracy. There are various factors affecting the accuracy of that interval: monitor refresh rate, flash vm frame rate, Timer event accuracy, render time. Anything else? How do I determine the actual inverval the user sees? High accuracy is required, since typical performance is from 20 to 80 msec on that task. I assume the limiting factor is the monitor refresh rate. If it's 60Hz, I would only be able to increment by 16.7msec.

I was wondering if there is a way to make the actual stage dynamic to the content loaded in the flash file.
Firstly the method I am using is importing a external swf to the stage into a container called container. The main stage, lets call it index, is still on default size, and I want this to expand dynamically as content is loaded in. page1 may be 900px width, page2 may be 500px width, and as I load the content the index stage should expand the width to that of the page loaded. Some steps I have tried but did not work.
if page1 button is pressed stage.stageHeight = 900; - not working (how do I set stage size in as3)made a movieclip in page 1 spanning the page size and called it p1_stage so I can reference the data from there. trace(container.p1_stage.height); gives this error: TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at index_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

So I have a movie clip associated with an external class in the linkage dialog. I put that movie clip on the stage. I have another external class that contains some code (not for the movie clip but for the stage). When I access the custom properties of the class in the actual flash file (not the external code) everything works fine.For example.myMovieClip.explodeTheCode = true;works in the main movie. However, it doesn't work in the external flash file when I have a reference to that movie clip.myRefToCustomMovieclip.explodeTheCode = true fails!It throws an error. In java, I'd just import the custom class the movie clip is linked to and then I can call all the extra custom methods on the movie clip in the external class I want. However, this does nothing. I still can't access any properties.So my question is, how do I access the custom features of a movie clip (that is linked to a custom class) from an external code file. It works in the movie, but not in the external source code.
