Hey Chris,
Thanks for the info and link. I have Colin's ActionScript for Flash MX, The Definitive Guide book, but not the EAS one. Would you recommend getting that?

I was going to reply to this on the other list, but her it is here. I like you guys better anyway ;-)
I agree with Tim. The MovieClipLoader class is perfect for this situation. The only downside is that it's Flash 7 and up only.
Anyway, I was going to suggest that you look at the class that Colin Moock has in his book Essential ActionScript. He has a ImageViewer class that uses the MovieClipLoader to load in JPEGs it's a good example and a great starting point for what you are trying to do.
You can find the code here:

I hope that helps.

create an empty movie clip and use the MovieClipLoader class. forget the Loader component and loadMovie, they suck.
You can manipulate your incoming file easily using listeners to the MCL class, check out the help files.

Subject: [osflash] Creating a JPEG viewing componentI posted this to the FlashCoders list, but maybe it's more of an osflash type of question.
I'm creating a little swf that will take in the path to a jpg and display it. All it really has to do is be able to zoom in and out and move the jpg around. I'm using the open source FAME approach for the most part. I had it working in the Flash IDE but am trying to get it to work in FAME stuff.
My question is more about the structure of this flash movie I'm making. My first version had five buttons: zoomIn, zoomOut, drag, update, and reset. It had two textboxes, one that displayed the scaling factor and one that displayed the path to the jpeg. It worked fine. I used a MovieClip that had a Loader inside of it for the JPEG. The main reason that I used the Loader was because it just seemed easier to me at the time, although I'm wondering now if it would be overkill.
So what's the best way to structure this? Should I even bother with the Loader component or should I just use a MovieClip and loadMovie() to load the JPEG? I've been trying the latter approach, but I can't seem to drag around my JPEG anymore. I don't know if it's becaue the MovieClip wasn't scaled properly or what. Any help would be... uh, helpful.
Thanks,
chris
