flash (macromedia) : Flash never more the 600px height

Why is it that whenever i see a Flash site, it is no longer than 600px in
height. What happens if you've got so much to display on the page that you have
to make the page longer, do you have to switch to html. I can imagine that
scolling down a page with animation may be a bit taxing on the old computers. I
was just wondering because I'm designing a site that i want to develop in
Flash. Am i missing something completely obvious.

Thank you for your time

Well , most probably because if you need to scroll the window to see all it looses the
appeal . You don't want to have roll overs or animation going off screen where user does not see
till realize or even never at all.

Well , over all , the larger the flash and animation that take big part of the screen , the more
CPU intensive it is . But I don't believe it is the first concern. I'm positive as said above .
It's just how much common users with overeager resolution can see at the time .

Thwere is really no reason why you cannot except that screens are shaped the
other way, I seem to recall having a problem scaling one of these the way I
wanted, couldn't figure out how to scale according to the width and then put
scroll bars on the height.

Anyway here is an example - you can decide for yourself it you want to go
there or not.
