Hey All,
I searched through the forums and I couldn’t find anything that could help me.
## I used the code in the tutorial on loading jpeg images, the one with bush holding the presidency for dumbies book.
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”,1);
container.loadMovie(“photo.jpg”);
container.\_x = container.\_y = 0 ;
## \_root.onMouseDown = function () { startDrag (“container”,false) ; } \_root.onMouseUp = function () { stopDrag () ; }
Anyway, that’s the only picture I can get to show? I replaced “photo.jpg” with “test.jpg” and a couple others, and none of them would show up, only “photo.jpg”
I can’t figure out what’s going on? I have photoshop, am I not saving the images in the right format? Please help! I’m desperate.
Thanks, Anthony.

It should work.
Are your images in the same folder as your .swf file?

Yes, the exact same folder. Here’s another bit of information that might help you:
If I alter the bush picture in photoshop and then save it; it won’t display??

Yep… the color setting is “web graphics default”
Am I crazy?

i just did it. check it out. this was my code. yours is a lot alike so it should work.
```php
// Create empty movie clip and set location
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("image_mc", 0);
image_mc._x = 50;
image_mc._y = 50;
image_mc._xscale = 50;
image_mc._yscale = 55;
// Button event handler
load_btn.onRelease = function() {
// Load image
image_mc.loadMovie(filename_txt.text);
}
```
but here, you cant use CKMY jpg’s and they cannot be Progressive jpg’s. inother words it cant load in pieces.
but this is how mine turned out, and btw, the image must be on your server.

i added
```php
image_mc.onMouseDown = function() {
startDrag(image_mc,flase)
}
```
which in theory should have worked correct? but i guess i need an instance name, yet cant give one because there is no MC to give it to. so i suppose that is what is happening to you.

The images were saved progressively; the weren’t mine and I didn’t know.
Sweet. Thanks for the help.

mdipi…
image\_mc.onMouseDown = function() {
this.startDrag(image\_mc,flase);
}
so, all you’re missing is this.

that’s because I answered that one without looking. I was too busy practicing my sword skills (with my left hand, of course! That’s why Im smiling) \<------ movie reference!
I would’ve done like this:
```auto
mymc.onPress=function(){
mymc.startdrag();
}
mymc.onRelease=function(){
mymc.stopdrag();
}
```
if you are putting code on the actual mc:
```auto
on(press){
this.startdrag();
}
on(release){
this.stopdrag();
}
```
sorry for the mixup.

```auto
mymc.onPress=function(){
mymc.startdrag();
}
mymc.onRelease=function(){
mymc.stopdrag();
}
```
i believe it should work with “this” Inigo:
```php
mymc.onPress=function(){
this.startdrag();
}
mymc.onRelease=function(){
this.stopdrag();
}
```
