**What about size limits in an mc with scrollpane component?
I tried to paste a five page text block into an mc with the component attached and it would not take it all, could do something like three pages okay. Weird?!? **
you could work around this with importing the text in a flat file, I created a 1.4 meg text file (320 page word document) and flash imported it into a dynamic text area with scroller.
Not necessarily a rule, but better stick to it:
never _alpha 0-100% or 100-0, always stop at 99%
with bitmaps and/or video (MX), else you’ll
experience the 1px “bitmap shift”…
And 99% really looks the same…
hey thanks for that I’m currently working on a project and I noticed that and wondered what it was.
on a side note:
this isnt really a limitation of flash but a limitation of most computers out there. Since designers usually have fast machines it’s important to remember that when you use alpha effects the load you place on ordinary computers is pretty large and alpha fades get choppy.
If you use tints then you (generally) dont have this problem since there is no video card requirement to do transparency using tints.
Not really a limit but maybe something u might hav missed…
When importing a jpg file, even if broken apart flash will cut a 1px off the edge. I noticed this when working on my current site. The very bottom pixel edge had a dotted black line, when published it was cut. I added 1 more pixel to the jpg and it came back…interesting?
Thanks bob…its really important to know this kind of things…before we begin,
THaks…again,
Looking for more like this…
alwayz nice 2 know this kinda info…
peace,
Nice infos guys…
But you don’t talk about the video importation/playing stuff ??
Anybody has some specs about that ?
Longuest video playable ?
Biggest size in pixels ?
Biggest size in Megs ?
Download time / Megs ?
ect…
Thanx !
I would assume the dimensions limit would follow the same limit as Flash with its viewable area.
Biggest size in megs is most likely whatever you want, but the bigger the file size the longer the load time (naturally)
The above two are just assumptions, I have never imported video into Flash so I don’t know exactly how that works.
The length of the video you play… no clue.
Download time depends on the modem and viewers computer not Flash.
from what I understand a lot of that has to do with computer/system RAM. I cant confirm that and really only have that suspicion (based on something Ive heard in the past). Some figures would be nice though 
what about a maximum _xscale or _yscale for an individual clip? Or is that something that can be figured out from what has already been said?
i got it to 3276800 or so before it started behaving strange.
thanks clownstaples, Ill add that in 
I did my own test and I got up to 4000000 before I stopped and experienced no difficulties :-\
is that with rotation? There is a point where lines begin to be drawn outside of the refresh box so any kind of motion or rotation leaves artifacts where the previously drawn image isnt completely cleared…
Similarly bitmaps can smear at long sizes…
Im not sure when that happnes though …
no, mine had no rotation happening, it was just a block that was scaled.
Another thing I noticed, and I don’t know why it does it, when you use the brush tool, if you create a line long enough it gets a little spike at the end that just jets out. Im assuming thats a bug rather than a limit though
yeah Flash is a little glitchy with extremes - I think this has to do with its process in estimations for performance.
Maybe some day they will work on that
hmm yeah this is cool
I love Kirupa just for these sort of random facts :thumb: Here is a limit I think we need to find: how many flash developers actually hit these limits and if so, what the heck are they doing? :esmirk:
well not really a limit but something nice to know for those frustrated with some textboxes not showing up text…:sigh:
If you have “bold” on and you are trying to load htmlText into the textbox, it wont show up for some reason… just found that out today.
