Ok - so I have tried the following:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("img_mc", 999);
var my_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mclListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip,
status:Number):Void {
trace("onLoadComplete: " + target_mc);
};
my_mcl.addListener(mclListener);
my_mcl.loadClip("http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/images/image1.jpg";,
img_mc);
and while the clip loads I am not getting a trace... that's really what
I need....

Hi Theodore,
There might be better ways than what I am using, but this works. For
each image I create a new movieclip which onEnterFrame resizes the
target loadMovie image to a set size, and then removes itself so it
doesn't keep working needlessly.
This is cut and pasted from a project where images are sourced from XML,
so it might have some extraneous ...
mrand=Math.round(Math.random()*3000);
tname='img'+mrand;
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(tname, imagedepth); imagedepth++;
_root['img'+mrand].createEmptyMovieClip('md', imagedepth);
_root['img'+mrand].md.loadMovie(images.childNodes[i].attributes['imgloc'
]);
_root['img'+mrand]._x=images.childNodes[i].attributes['x'];
_root['img'+mrand]._y=images.childNodes[i].attributes['y'];
trace(images.childNodes[i].attributes['imgloc']);
// image sizer
mrand=Math.round(Math.random()*3000);
sizer=tname+'sizer'+mrand; imagedepth++;
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(sizer, imagedepth); imagedepth++;
_root[sizer].pushw=images.childNodes[i].attributes['w'];
_root[sizer].pushh=images.childNodes[i].attributes['h'];
_root[sizer].clipname=tname;
//trace(images.childNodes[i].attributes['w']);
_root[sizer].onEnterFrame=function(){
trace(this.clipname + ' ' + this.pushw + ' ' + this.pushh);
_root[this.clipname]._width=this.pushw;
_root[this.clipname]._height=this.pushh;
//trace(this.clipname); // img0sizer
if(!init){ init=1; }
if((this.pushw)&&(this.pushh)&&(init>30)){
// counts to 30 frames and quits, should be enough
this.removeMovieClip();
}
init++;
}
