Hey everyone ive been trying to get this figured out for weeks with no help

Im trying to dynamically load images form a serer in Flash, i know it can be done for JPG, but i need the transparent properties of GIF.

I checked out this tutorial at kirupa  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/loading.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/loading.htm)

But it too talks about only JPGs

Anyone have any ideas suggestion??

use gifs instead of jpgs - you could also use externally loaded swf files.

I don’t believe you can dynamically load GIF pictures, only JPG.

unfortunately that wont work cause i have a lot of pics  
and i’d have to populate an array with all those…

Again it would work only for JPGs as well
