Time to switch to AS3, if you haven’t already. Much higher bitmap data limits in AS3.

Hi Tony,

Could you send me a sample of your PHP script. My guess it that the script you’re using is not able to output the file’s content.

You could send it at ronald@maravillaclan.net.

I Tried this out on Windows Safari and it doesn’t work. It always shows the file as 0 bytes.

We were developing a specialized application for a client. This application should be able to take an image template and allow users to customize (move/crop pictures, add message, etc.).

AS2 is actually slower when it comes to binary data manipulation so it might not be a good idea. A client requested a version of this hack in ActionScript 2 once and we never came up with a workable solution. AS2 is just not that optimized to handle image manipulation that big.

Hi!

Do you have this solution in actionscript 2?

Using the loader object – that’s AS3 only right?

No matter how you hijack larger bitmap data than the limit, you’re still not talking about an scalable solution for the common internet user’s computer – eating up upwards 800MB of RAM for a drawing app is not going to work for everyone.

Seems more efficient to work out a process of using a smaller optimized version in flash, and a full size version on save/export. I’d love to see Adobe include classes / methods to support this approach.

Also- it takes FOREVER to crunch bitmap data pixel for pixel and send to server for export, even if you are doing compression in flash. I have only seen one optimized method and even that can take over a minute for a large image…

HI there,

This is great, I tried it with a bitmap size of 10000 px and it still works, but tried it with 13000 px and it failed, basically giving me an error saying it was a invalid bitmap.

Any work around?
