maximum size of a sprite in as3?

Question

Is there an upper bound to the size of a sprite in as3 / flash 10?

I know bitmapData has limitations...

Answer 1

I have some experience with Flash 6 and that was the 2880 x 2880 pixel limit with bitmaps.

When creating movieclips there was no problem having this 50000 pixels wide and zooming this e.g. 10x was no problem either.

So I guess you are pretty safe with anything other than the bitmaps which sometimes is a bit of a pain because of the file size restriction.
