Can anyone help me with a Flash export image problem?

Can’t find anything about this in the support forums, so maybe I can get help via twitter and a blog. If this works, it will show that there is more to twitter than just wading through the spam (but I am slowly getting the hang of it, that’s another story).

I am trying to create some extra large files, which are essentially for use in a slide show or on a website (typical resolution similar to a wide screen monitor, but still clear on, say, 1200×800px - ratio is 3:2). I also want to be able to print out right up to A1 size, and this ideally needs a pixel resolution of around 12,000 x 8,000.

Now I know flash has an export limit of 8,000 px in any direction, so that would be fine - or sticking to a clear ratio of 3:2, I’d be happy with 7,500 x 5,000 - or even 6,000 by 4,000, but when I enlarge anything above the current file size of 2,700 x 1,800, I just get around 40% of the right hand side of the image either wiped out completely, or text only with no graphics - and therefore useless. I also sometimes get the same problem towards the bottom of the file.

I don’t know if this is a particular problem with my version of Flash (Professional 8), with the file (it is just a simple diagram) or some other technical glitch, but I hope there’s someone out there who has encountered a similar problem and can offer some help.

Cheers

James
