I was mistaken in were this problem lies. This only happens when a glow filter is on the textfield.

It seems to only happen when the text gets past a certain width.

I am having an issue with my text being cut off. I have some large text that is about 5000 px wide and is offset about 500 px to the right. The text justs gets cut off at one point. I am using the BDU draw function so i am not sure what is going on.

Well i just tried some simple tuning and it looks like it is working for me :

the BitmapDataUnlimited.draw() method doesn’t have the matrix parameter. I implemented
the method just for bypassing the 4096px limit in BitmapData.draw()
http://blog.formatlos.de/2008/12/11/bitmapdatadraw-is-limited-to-4096px/

if you want to use a matrix for drawing you have to use the built-in function …
bitmapData.draw();

btw. you are welcome to implement the matrix parameter in BitmapDataUnlimited.draw() but I guess
it’s not that easy or maybe not even possible

var bitmapData:BitmapData = bdu.bitmapData;
var m:Matrix = new Matrix(scale,0,0,scale);
bitmapData.draw(zone, m);

works but is truncated.

If I try :

var bitmapData:BitmapData = bdu.bitmapData;
var m:Matrix = new Matrix(scale,0,0,scale);
bdu.draw(zone, m);

i get this error :

1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type flash.geom:Matrix to an unrelated type flash.geom:ColorTransform

I am working on an app that lets you create signs. I am currently working with a 60″x24″ area at 120dpi(7200×2880). I have glow filters around some of the objects. I am having two problems. These problems only occur when i go to convert the bmd to any image format(bmp,png,jpg).

1. I have to use a matrix with the properly calculated scale to get the bitmap to draw the correct size, even though the movieclip I am drawing is already the correct size.

2.The glow filters stop drawing after the 4096th pixel, and the background turns transparent.

I have been picking at this for the last two days and am having no luck.

BitmapDataUnlimited is just a wrapper class to generate built-in BitmapData Objects, so you can dispose the generated BitmapData like a normal one (because it is a normal one)

Once I draw a huge bitmap with BDU, should I then “dispose” the data as I do with regular BitmapData class? If so, how do I call the dispose method?

thanks,
