Description

I used SDK 3.2.0.3958 to compile the attached file.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Download and run BitmapDataTest.mxml

Actual Results:

• ArgumentError: Error #2015: Invalid BitmapData. for:
  1. var bdNotOK:BitmapData = new BitmapData(8192, 150); //gives error, but the width is not exceeding 8192!!!
  2. var bdNotOK2:BitmapData = new BitmapData(4096, 4096); //gives error, but the pixels are not exceeding 16777216!!!

Expected Results:

• should create BitmapData,
• according to http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/index.html?flash/display/BitmapData.html&flash/display/class-list.html bitmapdata can have 8192 width or height and the total number of pixels could be 16777216 (4096*4096).

Workaround (if any):

• none

Tested the same issue in Air 1.5 and the same error appears
