Beginner's mistake
Load a JPEG with loadmovie into a movieclip, and the movieclip looses its MovieClip properties (doesn't listen to onEnterFrames and so on). So create a container clip inside the movieclip and load the JPEG in the container.img2swf
Tool to load images other than JPEG (or from another domain) into Flash: http://www.img2swf.com/
Simply by appending the URL of the img2swf server application to the front of an image URL it is possible to load the following formats directly into Flash from anywhere on the web;
See their examples at: http://www.img2swf.com/examples.htm
- gif (both static, animated** and transparent)
- png (with transparency)
- jpg (both progressive and non-progressive)
- bmp
- tiff
- ico
