loadMovie jpg problem ;-)

[AC-AC]

Hi
I want to load a jpg into a mc... so
to test it I put myImage.jpg in the same folder as the swf

on (release) {
loadMovie("myImage.jpg", "_root.myMovieClip");
}

The script goes OK but the jpg is not visible.
(I know that because I have graphic in "myMovieClip" disapear... but no jpg)

do I have to put file:///"myImage.jpg"
any idea?

[AC-AC]

oh by the way I got no problem to load a remote jpg file.

[KevinSchmidt]

umm, I'm not to sure about this but I think you have to use the load movie command and specify a level....

I forget exactly what it is try using the referenc eto look up the load movie commands, pick the one that loads it to a level for use with a stand alone player.

hope this remotly helps

thanks Kevin
but I believe the script is ok
unless there is no way to load a jpg locally in test movie mode... but I doubt it

heeeeeeeeeelp!

[AC-AC]

wow
I have tested 3 jpg images 1 work and the other 2 don't !
It doesn't seems to be a matter of file size it's the heaviest that works.

oh please... I need to solve this

[jcd1489]

make sure your JPGs aren't saved as "progressive". Flash will not load these.

good luck,
John

THANKS VERY MUCH jcd1489

f... no macromedia technote on this one (again ;-)

[AC-AC]

ohh it's worth it
THANKS ONCE AGAIN jcd1489
(I have to modify 150 images... but it's working !!! )

[KevinSchmidt]

heh well I tried, well just a warning watch what editor you use,
I had mad a bunch of thumbnails for my jpeg loader and found out that photo shop 7 saves files as .JPG and not .jpg, so I had 1/2 .jpg's and 1/2 .JPG's, But one good thing is the file browser in ps7 allows batch renaming which is a plus for this kind of stuff

[AC-AC]

thanks Kevin
I'll take good note of that too.

prost!

Hi Guyz,
I want do the same function'lty.
I can't fix it ! I checked my Image.
It isn't set to "Progressive" tho.
It's the same the MC just disapears.
Please helpo me. Thank u

Just want 2 know is this possible in Fla 5 or only MX?

[AC-AC]

hi
it's possible for an F5 movie... if it as been created in flashMX and published as a F5 file.

be shure your image is in the same folder as your movie if you test it localy in testMovie mode.

[infinity19sl]

Thanx AC,
So do you meant say that F5 (Application itself) can't import Images (Jpg, Gif) to it?
If you think it's possible, could you pls give me instruction or otherwise.

--The AS done in F5 (My Flash), the MC simply disapears--

Assuming I don't have FMX. Thanks again, Infinity

[AC-AC]

...if u have flashMX you can publish your movie as an F5 movie and it will load jpg.

But if you don't have MX you cannot do that, 'cause
flash5 (the appl itself, isn't capable of producing movies that loads jpg
