One way could be to draw a part of your image into a small BitmapData then do a getPixel, if the value is not 0, your image is loaded. I've a problem with IE and the flash loader too. But it's with request on cfm pages. After 200 requests, the connection come back with success, but the values are undefined... I work on this since a week without finding a good solution... This problem appear only with IE7. It seem's that there is actually a problem with IE and Flash. Have you also this problem only with IE7 or with all IE releases ?? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hans Wichman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Flashcoders mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 16, 2006 11:35 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Weird image download problems in IE > Hi, > there is a bug in the loader component, which might be whats bothering you > in your case. > It plagues the scrollpane too, but there is a fix somewhere out there:) > > greetz > JC > > > On 10/16/06, Alain Rousseau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> I've never used the Loader myself, so I can't really help you out with >> this >> error, but it might be an issue with Adobe's ActiveX Add-on ??
