Why doesnt my image show?

Hi. I am starting a new GS project and have created a background scene in CS4, it is 2500 x 320 pixels, its has lots of layers but has been saved as a png file. When i start the new project i create the scene as 2500 x 320, i create a new actor, import my png and lay that as the actor image. In the left hand side it shows the image then when i preview it is just white, its also white when i drag the actor on to the scene in the first place. I cant figure out why its doing this, any ideas? Thanks

could be the image is to big, the iphone doesn't work will with images over 1024. Try splitting the image into two parts.

Also, try dragging the image from the bottom section directly onto the preview icon on the left hand side.

Same thing happened to me. The problem was that I had the .psd and .png named the same and accidently drug the .psd into GS. Make sure you dropped the correct file into GS.

Thanks guys, it seems it was down to it being too big, split it down to 1024 and it worked as expected, cheers.
