[Gnash] load external images in gnash standalone player

[wast_eye#inode.at]

Hi list,
i am trying to load an image into a standalone swf on a gentoo box.
Unfortunately the image in the movieclip looks like an Y-stretched 
pixel-line.


The gnash output tells me that loading an image-file is nor implemented yet:

...

I can't believe that there is no way to load an image into a movieclip.
I switched from AS3 to AS2 for that standalone swf.
Do you have any hints to get this working?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
