Hi all,  
I am able to import a .jpg using the following code:

```auto

//load first image
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("first_frame",10);
_root.first_frame.loadMovie("55_0001.jpg");

```

But, instead if a .jpg, I want to import a .bmp. This does not seem to work for me. Can flash import a .bmp on the fly?

Cheers, Andy
