Howdy...

Flash manual says...MovieClip.loadMovie

myMovieClip.loadMovie("url" [,variables])

url An absolute or relative URL of the SWF or JPEG file to be loaded. A relative path must be relative to the SWF file at _level0. The URL must be in the same subdomain as the URL where the movie currently resides. For use in the stand-alone Flash Player or for testing in test mode in the Flash authoring application, all SWF files must be stored in the same folder, and the filenames cannot include folder or disk drive specifications.
Is that the case???

One more thing... Are those JPEG files baseline compressed ones or progressive compressed ones??? Flash cannot load progressive JPEG files..

it happened to me once and after 2 hours I tried it on another PC and it worked fine, so it's just maybe the player's version

I don't think it's a progressive jpg, for it's version 5.5 ;)

thanx,
i now realized what the problem is...

i only got a german version of ps, so i don´t know exactly how the function is called in english. when you save your jgp´s via "save for web" there´s a option which is called "mehrere Durchgänge" in german, which means that the picture will at first be shown with a lower res. , then with a little bit higher res, an so on till it got best quality... flash is not able to use this kind of saved jpg´s...

hope your not confused now....

Well... I am confused alright.. ;)

This is how I can do to save a non-progressive JPEG file in English Photoshop 7...

Save for web - Select JPEG High from the settings combobox on th eright side of the screen right underneath the 'Save' 'Cancel' 'Done' buttons...
Right below the settings, there are two combobox, one is set to 'JPEG' and another one is set to 'High'...
Right below that 'High' combobox, I have a checkbox that says 'Progressive'... As long as this one is not checked, you should be sure that the file will be saved as baseline JPEG file...
