Title: Adobe AIR Max Pixels?
Is there a pixel limit to the size of an AIR application (for desktop not mobile)?
1
maximum dimensions (width and height) allowed in Adobe AIR application is 2880 x 2880. Even if you give larger value than this it will automatically take the max value that 2880. This applies for the flash web applications also.

Thanks for the reply.
I have actually been able to exceed that width - I was able to have 3 HD videos portrait, making that 3240px wide - and then extending the application to excess of 4000px. I was using a Matrox triple-head at the time to test how wide I could go and was having no problems.
I was not able to initially have the application this size but would resize it post-install by editing the application.xml file.
Have you tried this?

did you checked the width after compiling the application. I gave 8000 width but after running the application it will not exceed 2880 PX. I think you are taking about the design view.

On compiling I was limited to a size, but editing the application.xml file after installing the app I was able to exceed it.
I may have the answer that was only just provided to me elsewhere - it appears that the maximum size is 4095x4095 for a nativeWindow - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/display/NativeWindow.html#bounds
I don't think I exceeded 4095 in my test so will give it another try now and see what happens.

I want to clear the confusion here . The Adobe AIR 1.5 or previous compiler will take just 2880 * 2880 pixels but the Adobe AIR compiler after 1.5 means 2.0 and above can compile size up-to 4095 * 4095 pixels.
That's the reason you are able to increase size by editing the application.xml which is compiled by AIR 1.5 or below. (But this is not a practical solution).

Yep that would be the case. I am using FDT and it is not letting me set the size of the application to 4095 x 4095 as I would like it to - it was only letting me set it at 2000 x 2000.
