What are the actual limits of a bitmap in flash?

As I can read it from this article the maximum square bitmap Flash can handle is 4,095 x 4,095 (which results in 16,769,025 pixels and bla-bla-bla). So, they say if I try to go to 4,096 x 4,096, I'll fail. But I have tried to load and display a bitmap image sized 4,096 x 4,096, and it worked well. Then, I even tried an image sized 5000 x 5000, and that was alright too. What do I not understand? What are the actual limits and how to calculate them?

I think these limits refer to what you can create in flash via the bitmap class, not what you can load externally...but I could be wrong.

the actual size limit is 16,777,215 pixels (the decimal equivalent of 0xFFFFFF)
