Re: [flexcoders] Maximum Image Width able to be displayed
So I understand conceptually what that means. However I don't know action script well enough to convert an mx.controls.Image wrapping a GIF to a Bitmap. I have tried just creating a BitmapData object and drawing to that given the display object (my mx.controls.Image) and giving it a rectangle for the viewable area. I try drawing this with a graphics.fillBitmap() using the graphics on my container and nothing happens, even after a call to endFill(). So how do you do this in actionscript? - Original Message From: Jon Bradley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, November 2, 2007 11:02:00 AM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Maximum Image Width able to be displayed On Nov 2, 2007, at 12:30 PM, Greg Giacovelli wrote: So what it seems is going on is that it renders the image, clips it, and then displays the visible region and applies a mask over the rest.

But since I am not the only one with this problem, I was wondering if there are known strategies I don't know of to get around this "feature". Create a rectangle and move that using any of your available tween libraries. Use the rectangle to copy pixels from the virtual 'region' that the rectangle represents on the original image into a new Bitmap that represents the visible area. cheers, jon __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [flexcoders] Maximum Image Width able to be displayed
Wow that's sort of not cool but great to hear I am not losing my mind. Thanks! :) So what I am doing is basically loading a 15Kpx wide gif or jpg image and using it as a film strip. (Legacy data format that I can't really change) And I am trying to render subsections of that image by sliding it through a viewable region. So what it seems is going on is that it renders the image, clips it, and then displays the visible region and applies a mask over the rest. However the render fails so the rest of the steps are just wasted cycles. I have a fix to just chop the image in half prior to loading it.. But since I am not the only one with this problem, I was wondering if there are known strategies I don't know of to get around this "feature". Also to help your page out a little more. I think when embedding the image into the swf fails at a smaller width for some reason. Loading it at runtime from an external source seems to allow larger files. No scaling is going on. -Greg - Original Message From: Daniel Freiman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, November 2, 2007 7:10:25 AM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Maximum Image Width able to be displayed The 8191px limit has been confirmed.
