Hi Mike,
taking over for Pat here, for a moment :)
With 8 K, you're exactly at the limit which causes Flash to fail as it tries to display the raw image in one piece: 8192px.
e.g. 8190 x 4095 will work. I don't know why Adobe decided to introduce this in Flash 9 ...
You said you tried it with smaller pictures already. These *absolutely* should have worked.
Which software did you use to save them? Photoshop? It might be worth a try - and I'm just guessing here - to change some of the JPEG options, like "baseline" instead of "optimized" or "multiple passes".
So we're left with two options
a) use 8190 px, but a different JPEG setting
b) (slightly less obvious) - wait a few hours until the automated processing has completed, which will take the large image and produce the cube-mapped versions for flash-compatible fullscreen and smallscreen size. The output of that process is known to work.
Note that you can already configure the flash player settings, even though the player itself may fail.
Now the reason that b) doesn't happen in near real time is because we'd need to seriously invest into RAM for the web server to make it support large-scale image processing, and our hoster bills us a dollar per month per allocated 10 megabytes - so even just going to a comfortable gigabyte would make it rather expensive, not to mention that we'd see quite some "hiccups" as the server dedicates his clock cycles to converting instead of serving. That's why this processing runs on a separate machine - which isn't "always online", hence the delay.
