This means that you cannot save bandwidth by loading a JPEG, GIF, PNG, or SWF file and then duplicating the movie clip." Well that seems very limiting so what's the work-around? The BitmapData Object that was introduced in Flash 8. We load our JPEG using the MovieClipLoader Class, use the BitmapData Object to draw an instance of our image, remove the movieclip that our image was loading into and Flash has stored our image as a bitmap which can be used as many times as we like.  ]]> no@spam.com (Lauren Smith) http://www.actionscript.org/resources/articles/530/1/Use-the-Same-External-Dynamic-Image-Infinitely/Page1.html http://www.actionscript.org/resources/articles/516/1/JSON-Communication-with-Flash-Loading-Data/Page1.html What is JSON? JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation and is a much leaner alternative to loading XML data. For this example we will be loading JSON data in from some del.icio.us posts.
