Loading jpg form external site, not working on server

[brentW505]

I'm trying to load a jpg from youtube.com. I load if from my computer, it works.. load it online, doesn't. And it doesn't give me any errors or anything. The completeListener is not working! Is there a problem with flash loading from other domains or what?.. If I test it, it shows in Safari's activity that the jpg was loaded, but it won't display it.

Here's my code:

var iconLoader:Loader;
function loadThumb(){
	iconLoader = new Loader();
	iconLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completePhotoListener);	
	iconLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://img.youtube.com/vi/8M69nCOJnuk/1.jpg"));
}

function completePhotoListener(e){
	iconLoader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completePhotoListener);
	var _image:Bitmap = Bitmap(e.target.content);
	container.addChild(_image);
}

loadThumb();

I tried doing error handling, but there's no errors! what in the world!

Where do you have addChild(iconLoader); ? You need to add that or it won't work.

I'm using this:

var _image:Bitmap = Bitmap(e.target.content);
container.addChild(_image);


The weird thing is, it works on my computer, but not on the server, even though Safari shows the photo loaded. Also, when i use event listeners and have them output on a textfield online, it appears the complete listener isn't doing anything.

You need to add the Loader object or it won't work.

within the complete listener, or before?... I'll try, but it doesn't even seem to use the complete listener..

Don't know. However, just follow the standard protocol sometimes and it will work.
