[flexcoders] Re: Image Loader COMPLETE event wont fire for some images

[toofah_gm]

But why do images with transparency in them differ from this rule...they seem

transparency.  I understand that they are bigger because of the alpha channel, 
but would like to know the exact rule about their max size if there is one.
