Hey  
I’m loading thumbnail images from youtube and upon adding them to the stage I have encountered some issues.

If I simply addChild the loader to my parent it all works nice and dandy both locally and uploaded,  
if I convert it to bitmapdata, it works locally but not uploaded.

Any thoughts on why I’m having this problem?

```auto

private function buildThumb() : void {
            $loader = new Loader();
            $loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
            $loader.load(new URLRequest(DataProxy.getInstance().getPlaylists()[$playlist][$id].thumbnail.image));
            addChild($loader);   
        }
        
        private function onComplete(e : Event):void{
// var bmp:Bitmap = new Bitmap(Convert.TO_BITMAPDATA($loader));
// this.addChild(bmp);
        }

```
