Hey everybody,

i’m trying to load some external images of the web.  
when i publish preview my swf the image loads.

but when i open the swf or html the image doesnt apear.

i have tested every thing and found out

```auto
e.target.content

```

doesn’t exist in the published version.

PS: i have set the local playback security to ‘network’

my code:

```auto
function loadImage(imageString:String)
{
	var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
	var imageURL:String = imageString;
	var imageRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(imageURL);
	
	imageLoader.load(imageRequest);
	
	imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onPictureLoaded);
}

function onPictureLoaded(e:Event)
{
	var newBitmapData:BitmapData = e.target.content.bitmapData; // <-- this doesn't work (e.target.content doesn't exist)
	var newBitmap:Bitmap = new Bitmap(newBitmapData);
	this.addChild(newBitmap);
}

loadImage("http://www.google.nl/images/srpr/nav_logo13_175pxlogo.png");

```
