Dave, I'm not sure if this is appropriate for your application, but I ran into a similar problem when creating a project using high-quality panoramic photos. The way I worked around it was by slicing up my image into 2880 px tiles, then re-assembling them with actionscript on the stage. Cheers,

Thanks for your response Micha this has to with other things. the 2880 px stuff is related to one single object, you can have as much object of that size as you want, as long as you have enough ram. I wanted to create an image object 3500 X 300 pixels which will take up about 4 Mb - but I
