question about texture (image) size!

[sonicfire]

hi there!

so i´m developing new iphone games and have read that the max. size allowed is (1019x1019).
when i display a PART of an imagefile, lets say 480x320 - is it okay if the original image is like 4800x320? (just an example).
(i mean a BIG image, splitted into parts inside GE, for example 10 vertical images).
or does this apply to the "Limit"?

thanks!

How are you going to display part of an image? if the image must be loaded as a whole into memory, iphones can't handle higher with GE

i guess i wasn´t there when i asked this question, sorry
(i just do load individual 480x320 images into GE... that´s what animindex is for)... so, my fault.
