Tommy, Loading non-Flash Player 9 SWF files into a Flex 2/3 application is often very wonky because the Flash 8 or lower file gets loaded into a different virtual machine (AVM1) than the VM that Flash 9 content is loading (AVM2). Generally speaking, those two VMs do not speak to one another.
If all you are doing is converting the images to Flash 9 SWFs then you could follow Ken's advice. My question to you: Why SWF? Why not keep the files as JPEG files? Also, how are you loading these files? Are you using Loader? SWFLoader?
