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.

it shows up, just need to make sure your embedding the bold version too when using it :sigh:
Yeah, I remember when I went through that issue, I almost went insane. It took me a few days to finally find out that you have to embed the individual normal, bold, and italic versions of the font.
lol sorry about that… 
should I just keep my post in there or delete it?
Thanks,
Aditya
they are considered different versions of the same font…
when you install a new font family, you will install several, sometimes as much as 9 diff fonts…
…and the client always seems to use one that you don’t own…
