hi Charles, this looks perfectly good to me. the only thing i noticed, looking at your script, is that you increment the depth for each image. i wouldn't do that, since it results on the images being placed on top of each other, i.e. in frame ten, there will be a stack of ten images but only the latest is visible since it covers the rest. this would have interesting effects if you worked with transparency, but probably isn't what you're after. just leave the depth at 1, subsequent images/clips will replace previous ones.
anyway, that most likely isn't what's causing your problem. what you could do, if you feel a little adventurous, is to generate a simple sequence of, say, two or three images as you'd like them to appear in flash mx, and then have a look at it's swfml-l output. swfml-l is the lowlevel variant of the swfmill markup, very close to the actual SWF format. you can get it like this: swfmill swf2xml input.swf output.xml then do the same with an example of the swfmill generated SWF that won't load and try if you see where the difference is -- maybe you notice something between the base64 encoded image data. mark On 1/15/06, Charles Wardlaw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey, thanks for the reply.
