[flexcoders] Re: Image Loader COMPLETE event wont fire for some images
But why do images with transparency in them differ from this rule...they seem to exceed the maximum size earlier than those images that do not have 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.

[flexcoders] Re: Image Loader COMPLETE event wont fire for some images
Tim, Thanks for your help on this. I feel like I am getting a little closer, but would like to get full understanding so that I can make a good decision on how to proceed. The 2880 limit seems to be related to the problem, however it is interesting that this limit only seems to affect transparent images, or at least I haven't hit a limit yet for non transparent images. Also, I am using FP10, which is supposed to have higher limits. Do you know if this is dependent on the SDK that the app is compiled with? If I change the image to "http://www.mangumfamily.org/pedigreeLargeBook.png";, which is 3764 x 2610 with transparency...it doesn't load. "http://www.mangumfamily.org/pedigreeLargeBook2.png";, which is the same image, saved at 2880 x 1997 with transparency...loads great. "http://www.mangumfamily.org/pedigreeLargeBook3.png";, which is the same image, saved at 2885 x 2000 with transparency...does not load. This seems to prove that there is some sort of 2880 limit still with transparent images. Interesting thing is that "http://www.mangumfamily.org/backgroundOriginal.jpg";, which is much larger, 4200 x 3188, but has no transparency, loads just fine. Does anybody have some good understanding on this issue? or can you point me to some better documentation on such? Thanks!

[flexcoders] Re: Image Loader COMPLETE event wont fire for some images
Well, probably a question better answered by Alex. I suspect that the transparency is adding to the file size and hitting the size limit. But, at this point, it's just a guess. Try cropping the image down to see if you get to a point that it works. -TH --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "toofah_gm" wrote: > > I tried this as well...I think that the original file is actually a PNG and not a JPG...unfortunately, this does not make a difference either. > > Gary > > > --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Tim Hoff" TimHoff@ wrote: > > > > > > What happens if you convert the jpg to a png with transparency?

I tried this as well...I think that the original file is actually a PNG and not a JPG...unfortunately, this does not make a difference either.

What happens if you convert the jpg to a png with transparency?
