Myabe your image too big . If you wanna display a rectange of that image you can use a class named "bitmapdata" in actionscript3.0 and use the method named "draw(arguments....)", you can spectify the size with width & height properties , so you can get a croped display shape .
about your another problem is how can you get the width and height value behind the above image . don't worry , we have solution to resolve it .
I think if all the application is written in actionscript3.0 , then , you can get the two properties value quite easy .
another case is if the above image you said is display by html , so , we can via javascript get that image which above layouted ,
the way of tech layer is actioncript3.0 call the function which written in javascript and for get image width and height . Code like this , var _width:Number = ExternalInterface.call("getwidth"); var _height = ExternalInterface.call("getheight"); good luck , guy .
pls contact me asap if you have anything else .
