Tip: compress your images as much as possible while maintaining good quality. The smaller the file size of your images, the faster they will download. For JPEGs, somewhere between 30% and 70% quality normally works best. For images with only a few colors, try PNG for size.

FAQ

Is there a limit to the large image size?

Flash has an image size limit of 2880px (width or height). If your large image is larger than 2880px (very unlikely!) the Flash image zoom magnifies the wrong part of the image. To prevent this, resize your images to 2880px or less.
