Load external jpg!!

[Bellla]

I have a loader on the stage (to pick up an external jpg)with the code:
autoload true
content path http://www.mywebsite.com/test.jpg
scale content true
which all works perfectly, however when using the same code for a different website the jpg won't show up. The website is held in a folder called htdocs. I've tried:
content path http://www.newwebsite.com/htdocs/test.jpg and
content path http://www.newwebsite.com/test.jpg
This is so frustrating! Please help.

Which flash version do you use?

[Bellla]

I am using Flash MX professional 2004 v7.2

I move you to actionscript forum.


Have you trie to add

System.security.allowDomain("http://www.newwebsite.com/");

That doesn't seem to work. My test jpg (tt.jpg) is located in
http://www.madderrosegallery.com in a folder called htdocs.
Any ideas?

http://www.madderrosegallery.com/htdocs/tt.jpg

that doesn't exist.

[Bellla]

yes it does, I'm just looking at it now. That's my problem. There is a website called
www.madderrosegallery.com
on the host server the website folders and files are all kept inside a folder called htdocs. this is where the tt.jpg is.

http://www.madderrosegallery.com/tt.jpg will show up the image

Ok,

the last url works:
http://flashscript.biz/test/videopre...roxyimage.html

but when I check the same image inside the folder htdocs just putting the url (as I showed in my last post above) in a browser there is a error 404. The image is not there, no matter what you say.

The problem is not flash, the problem is the image on the server.

htdocs is the folder for the public information. everything that you want accessible to the public has to be in htdocs. basically htdocs is the root of your domain. that folder is sometimes also known to be called "public_html".

So how do you mean the problem is the image on the server? It's just a little jpg?
