Is there a limit on symbol sizes?

bigabe · 08-14-2007, 05:44 AM

Aloha,

I'm trying to create an automatic scrolling textbox.

I have one huge symbol containing a vertical list of information, and within another clip, I'm simply running a motion tween on the info instance of about 450+ frames. However, about halfway through, the text goes blank.

Any thoughts? I can provide an .fla if needed.

Thanks!

Movie clip max = +/- 2880px

But if I'm able to see it play properly in the timeline, shouldn't it publish properly?

It looks fine if I'm previewing it from flash, but if I preview movie or publish, it causes problems...

That depends. 2880 pixels is the limit for using BitmapData, BitmapCaching, & for using MovieClip.scrollRect, but I've had several MCs that are larger than 2880.

Check to make sure that you're not using scrollRect or BitmapCaching, and see if that helps.
