Hey,

I created a slide show in which external pictures are displayed. I used the tute on external loading by claudio as base. Everything worked fine. But a few pictures wont display, it seems that flash found the images, because the transition is opened. But when the “shutter” is opened the space is blank. Some pictures have this problem, so i thought it could be a programming typo or so. But I copied the script from a gallery I already made and just replaced the names. Has anyone an idea what could be causing this?

thx in advance

I think it is because Flash does not recognize progressive JPEGS, and your pictures are probably those.

Progressive?  
Don’t have a clue what that means. They seem to be plain, just “pic.jpg”.
