Ummm, what does it do?

I tried to put a URL to a picture on the web, didn’t work, tried one on my computer, didn’t work either.

Tried a .txt file, didn’t work.

Tried a song, didn’t work.

Is it just a white screen with a textbox and a button?

Cool, but now I can’t remove the picture or type in a new name 😛

Interesting concept, but makes no sense if it doesn’t serve a specific purpose though :-\

[edit]  
Geocities = no hotlinking, you need to copy and paste your URL into a new browser window.

If you are hot linking images, in the link you can call it .txt instead of .jpg and it will work, or so I hear.

```php
button.onRelease = function(){
loadMovie(myTextBox.text, 1)
}

```

kinda h88. this is the compleate code.

[AS]// Create empty movie clip and set location  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“image\_mc”, 0);  
image\_mc.\_x = 10;  
image\_mc.\_y = 10;  
// Button event handler  
load\_btn.onRelease = function() {  
// Load image  
image\_mc.loadMovie(filename\_txt.text);  
}  
[/AS]

btw lost: i am one who could use AS to drag and stop and play, and that was about it, besides you know JS which is a lot alike.

No problem, I don’t know of the hotlinking of images thing is true, but it has been said a few times on this forum by some people that know what they are talking about so I believe it.
