William,
It is possible that your trace is done while your load is not.
Because Flash is a-synchroon.

[Flashcoders] Has anyone been involved in a project that needed an Open Screen Project license?
Hi list, Appologies for the long-weird title. Here's the thing: I'm involved in a project that requires embedding/distributing the Flash player alongside a device that has an interface in Flash. Since Adobe launched the Open Screen Project not long ago and that it was specifically made for this purpose, I was wondering if anyone on the list has gone through process of applying for a license: http://www.openscreenproject.org/partners/apply.html Does it take long? Do they ask many questions? Do you get an SDK or do you just grab installers/runtimes from the official site once you get the green light? What does Adobe require in terms of Adobe/Flash/AIR branding? Specifically I find this very vague: "[partners must] Publicly support the Open Screen Project" Please note that this is a 100% legitimate project and that my client WILL apply for the license, I'm just trying to get some information in advance. Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 - load an external graphic into a movieclip?
Your empty_mc.addChild(firstImage) is right... what you're missing is
that this line:
addChild(firstImage);
should be:
addChild(empty_mc);

I'm trying to create a new project in ActionScript 3 in Flash CS3. I
have the code:
var firstImage:Loader = new Loader();
var empty_mc:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
addChild(firstImage);
url = new URLRequest("test.jpg");
firstImage.load(url);

firstImage.y = 10;
//empty_mc.addChild(firstImage);
//empty_mc.x = 150;
//empty_mc.alpha = 50;
stop();
and it works until I uncomment the empty_mc stuff --- what I want to
do is put firstImage into a movieclip so that I can control its
yscale, alpha &c. for animation purposes, but I'm just not getting how
one does this.
I've tried lots of variations:
empty_mc.addChild(new MovieClip(firstImage));
empty_mc.addChild(firstImage) as MovieClip;
and other variations I should probably be embarrassed to show --- how
does one load an image (eventually from a server) into a movie clip?
