you can create border using flash drawing APIs… Look for them in MovieClip class… (lineStyle, lineTo, moveTo etc…)

Load jpg but make the container invisible…

get the height and width of the image by getting h and w of its container movieclip…

then draw the boundry using drawing fuctions… then show the img container

If you want to animate you will have to use drawing functions in onEnterFrame event or using setInterval method
