Re: FLASH: Loading an image into a flash movie from a url

[John Dowdell]

If you need to dynamically link to an external .JPG somewhere in the world,

then that's more a case for Shockwave than Flash.


(As George and Michael pointed out, if you can put the JPG inside a SWF

beforehand, then you can do this in Flash. Shockwave offers more media

types, more controls, though... it's one of the tradeoffs for the larger

Mac/Win player.)
