When Trying to export a flash graphic out of Flash CS3 to .PNG format, Flash
will either export a severely distorted image or it will just crash and
shutdown. Admittedly, the graphic is pushing the max limits of allowable
export (7900x7900px @ 300dpi). I've never had problems exporting to .PNG
before, as I use that feature every day, but rarely at this scale. Could the
size be affecting it's ability to export correctly? If not, what could be the
issue?

It IS the size! When I read your post I tried exporting a really simple image
at 8,000 by 8,000 to BMP, JPG and PNG. It came out six different ways in size
different saves.

There's a threshold where it comes out properly, but I don't know where that
is, it was happy with 1,000 by 1,000 for all the formats. So my copy of CS3
does the same thing as yours. I wonder if you'd have to alter the document
size then slide the content around and make multiple passes for really high
detail image saves?

Well at least it's not just me. I'm trying several variations to make this
work, but it's kind of a PITA. I have to slightly rework the piece to make it
work out. Hopefully Adobe could check this out. Is there a way to make an
official report to Adobe about stuff like this?
