when you say "load" are you talking externally? or embedded in the component swc? are we talking AS3? is this a new FLA based component for AS3 or swc?
AS3 wraps the component at designtime with a livePreviewParent class and it's running a swf essentially. So, you should be able to load an external file without a problem. I'm building a component right now thats loading XML and multiple images at design time in the IDE without any problem without any special tricks. Although, i will say, you have to use an absolute path - relative won't work from where the FLA is saved if that's what you're assuming.

I've been building components since.. well.. the Flash 5 days, and every once in a while I need a component to load an image and display it while the component is in livepreview (on the stage, before test movie, etc). Each time I dig around thinking this is just nuts.. there has to be a way, and most of the time I fake it and embed the image into the component or do some other hokey workaround. Well.. now I really need to have a component load an image during livepreview and I'm not finding a way. bah! Anybody out there have the secret? Or.. is it just not possible? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss an email again! Yahoo!
