Importing an image into flash

[V0oD0o]

Hi there,

Just a quickie.

Can you import an image into flash that is external to the movie.

So, for example you have:

/image1.jpg
/displaymovie.swf

Can you get the SWF to import the jpeg to display it?

Thanks in advance,

V0o

you can in MX with loadMovie

remember to search for your answer first...

Voodoo,

See the sample movie at: [install dir]\samples\fla\load_images.fla

The code should look something like this:


loadMovie("image1.jpg", "yourMC");

// yourMC being the name of the movie clip
// where you wish to put the image.


And, as Billy T mentioned, this is only available for MX... :(

Thanks,
