Flash 8 Pro (AS2), externally loaded jpgs displaying artifacts when displayed

Hi,

You might need to look into MovieClipLoader(), so you can do things with your images after they have loaded, with loadmovie() you have less control over them

TheLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
TheImageLoad = new Object();
TheLoader.addListener(TheImageLoad);
TheImageLoad.onLoadStart = function()
{
    ImageHolder._visible = false;
};
TheImageLoad.onLoadProgress = function()
{
    // intentionally empty
};
TheImageLoad.onLoadComplete = function()
{
    // intentionally empty
};
TheImageLoad.onLoadInit = function()
{
    ImageHolder._visible = true;
    ImageHolder.smoothing = true;
    ImageHolder._width = 300;
    ImageHolder._height = 200;
};

MyButton.onPress = function(){
    TheLoader.loadClip("images/picture.jpg",ImageHolder);
} 

basically this example needs a button called "MyButton" and an empty moviclip both on stage called "ImageHolder"
