I’m building an app that allows the user to load JPGs, edit them, and then save them back to their computer.

The bitmap exporter I found here…  
[http://www.sephiroth.it/tutorials/flashPHP/print\_screen/page002.php](http://www.sephiroth.it/tutorials/flashPHP/print_screen/page002.php)

So I have run into some sort of bug. Whenever I load a JPG from another site ([http://abc.com/xyz.jpgp](http://abc.com/xyz.jpgp))… then the bitmap exporter will just trace a blank image. So it has come down to this: the moment I a jpg, my traced bitmap is broken. It will work at every point before that. I am using loadClip to load the jpgs (flash 8 pro/as2.0).

Anyone know why this is happening and how i can fix it?
