IMG tag - still only JPEG pics?

[DaveSimmons]

In Flash 7 the text window will only display IMG tags that link to remote JPEG images, not GIF or PNG.

Has this changed in Flash 8 or 9? If so, do other image formats work for IMG tags if we still use ActionScript 1.0?

Now days you can load more than just non-progrssive JPG's. The IMG tags can also call movieclips from the library.

Thanks, but does anyone know about other bitmap formats (GIF, PNG)?

I realize for static images I can just make them into a movie clip, but these are dynamic links to a set of bitmap files on a server.

Flash 8 documentation says JPEG, GIF, PNG, SWF and movieClips...

I should have said it out right and not implied it.

Of course... ;)
