Loading Jpgs via URL into a Flash Dynamically?

[Owning Sindel]

I would like to have a flash movie load a picture as the background image of a symbol or otherwise be viewable. The picture would be referenced via a URL on another site. Is this possible?

Example. Anyone who runs the movie would see a text field. putting in a URL ending in '.jpg' would make another object show the pic from that URL.

I've been desperately searching for the answer.

if you are using Flash 5, then no. Yo uwould have to import that JPG into Flash as a seperat SWF and use LoadMovie...

If you are using Flash MX I beleive you can use loadMovie as the JPG file...

I am using Flash MX. You're saying I can load a jpg as a movie? DO you have a resource I could look at to pull this off?

This is a great tutorial. The only step seemingly missing is how to specify a URL instead of a filename. This URL will be in a different domain. This will allow a user to dynamically load a picture of herself when pulling up her profile.

...to see what I'm talking about. Each company and user has a picture specified in a field as a URL. This URL would pull up the picture in the picture field.

Any new thoughts on this question? I'm interested in the ability for MX to dynamicaly load things.
