Re: [Swftools-common] Loading external images

[Stephen Moran]

Hi Eduardo,

My only thought would be that perhaps you are trying to load a progressive scan 
.jpg using a flash version prior to when they were supported. Either try to 
load a non-progressive scan .jpeg or make sure the flash version is >= 8, as I 
think that's when they added progressive .jpg support.

I'm building a simple flash movie using swfc and trying to load an
external image inside an actionscript block , this is my example:

.flash filename="test.swf" compress bbox=850x335

        .sprite external
        .end

        .frame 20
                .action:
                        _root.createEmptyMovieClip("test", 200);
                        var loader = new MovieClip();
                        loader.loadClip("http://someURL/someFILE.jpg";);
                        _root.attachMovie(external, test);
                .end

        .frame 50
                .put external x=10 y=10
        .stop
.end

actionscript seems to get the image from the given URL but is not
shown in the movie... any ideas???

thanks
