Does anyone know what the max size is in FP 10 for the stage? When I scale a swf larger than 4080 I get a black line at the bottom below my content. Can anyone reproduce this?

max tried by me: 1920:1080
And what is 4080? What are you trying to achieve?

It appears the problem is in flex (wrong forum I know). Basically I need to
make the stage really big to get some high resolution images. In earlier
players if the stage was too large then you would see purple bars on the right
and bottom. It looks like that is gone now, but flex when it draws its
components will only draw them out so large. Stretching a swf built in Flash
CS3 on the other hand doesn't seem to have any problems. I'm still testing, but
that is what I've found so far.

Here's the real answer...

In FP 10, bitmaps are no longer restricted to a max size of 2880x2800. Now
they can be 4096*4096 with a max of 8192 for any dimension.

Flash authoring has always, and still, restricts the stage size to 2880x2880.
So that's not ideal.

Those are the facts. If I get a few more requests I'll technote this.

It is true that the Flash IDE restricts stage size to 2880.

My question is really how large does the flash player support scaling
content?

If I have a swf that I created in the IDE at 100x100 and then I open it in the
player and tell the player to scale to 5000x5000 it appears that FP 10 doesn't
complain. FP 9 and earlier did complain by not rendering content past a certain
pixel boundry.

Flex seems to have an issue if you have a gradient set on the mx:application
component (I haven't tested others yet), which is probably the issue with the
4096 single bitmap boundary.

The crux of the matter is that I am getting artifacts on the screen when I
scale the player to a very large size that has a flex swf loaded. The artifacts
are not part of any content that I load. So either they are caused by the flex
framework components or the flash player itself.

As far as I know the scaling limit was removed, but that's a tough area to do
solid testing for in QE.

You should open a Flex support case and provide some samples. Flex support
guys can then write a bug..
