What is maximum height of image I can use-please help

Question

Please If somebody could help me,
I have made some kind of sliding menu (you can see it here
Alarmi555 and on a third menu I
get red block displayed instead my menu. All three menus (slot
machine roles) use the same code but the images are different.
Now. for first two roles I use images that have height of
cca.2000px and they display ok, but third role uses graphic that
has height of 17 000 px , and it doesn't render right, and displays
red square instead.
I tried with smaller image in third role and it displays
right.
My movie height is only 300 px and I use the mask for the
image scroling.
Is there a limit of image height that I can use in flash, and
is there a way to fix this other than making the image smaller.
Thanks,
Sasha

2880 px is the maximum size of a single image. you could
construct a series of images and 'chain' them together, OR bring
them to the Stage dynamically as they 'roll', OR 'fake the 'roll'
with a small blurred MC image, OR recycle the position of a single
smaller clip, by moving it's position back to the bottom (or where
it starts) after it move a particular distance.
