Rick,
 
I recently ran into a problem like that when using a Scene7 image server. The solution I found was very odd but seems to work.
 
Scene7 uses special URL parameters to define the processing to be done to an image. For example, to get back an image that has a width of 100 pixels and is in JPEG format, the URL would look something like this...
 
 
I found that if my "fmt" parameter was at the very end of the string, Flex would not load the image. But if I moved the "fmt" parameter so that it was earlier in the parameter list everything would work fine. I haven't had the time to investigate further to find out *why* this is the case, but this workaround it has worked well for me so far.
 
Also, make sure the server is not sending you back a progressive JPEG. The Flash Player does NOT support progressive JPEG format.

Attempts to use the load() method of an Image component with a URL that creates a server-side generated image (JPEG) do not seem to display properly in the Flash viewer.  Works fine with static images.  And the URL’s are perfectly fine (work from within a browser or an HTML image tag).

 

Any thoughts/insights?
