loading a jpg - help!!!

[supergeri]

Hi all,

I am trying to load a jpg ("myimage.jpg") from an MS access file and I'm having problems with it. I'll systematically say what's going on;

When I use dynamic text to display the path to the image in a textbox, the path is correctly displayed."myimage.jpg" is declared as an "image" in my the file "myasp.asp" i.e.

var = image(declared in the dynamic text textbox)

loadVariables("myasp.asp", 0, "POST);

It displays:

myImages/myimage.jpg

If I use the following line

loadMovie("myImages/myimage.jpg", "myplaceholder", "POST");

The image is displayed correctly. However, I am selecting the pictures at random so I need to use the line:

loadMovie("image", "myplaceholder", "POST");

This does not work. Is there anyway to declare the variable "image" in loadMovie in the same way as its done in dynamic text?

Big thanks in advance,

take away the speech marks.

myImage= "myImages/myimage.jpg";

myPlaceHolder.loadMovie(image);

Look into LoadVars if you are using flash mx or higher too, its a lot better and safer that loadVariables
