I’m trying to load images from [discogs.com](http://discogs.com)  
but there are strange errors

These 2 urls are giving errors…  
[http://www.discogs.com/image/R-150-28301-1198848470.jpeg](http://www.discogs.com/image/R-150-28301-1198848470.jpeg)  
[http://www.discogs.com/image/L-150-283-001.jpg](http://www.discogs.com/image/L-150-283-001.jpg)  
ActionScript Code:

```auto

//var imageURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.discogs.com/image/R-150-28301-1198848470.jpeg"); 
var imageURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.discogs.com/image/L-150-283-001.jpg"); 
var myImageLoader:Loader = new Loader(); 
myImageLoader.load(imageURLRequest); 

myImageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded); 
function imageLoaded(e:Event):void { 
   var myBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(myImageLoader.width, myImageLoader.height); 
   myBitmapData.draw(myImageLoader); 
   var myBitmap:Bitmap = new Bitmap; 
   myBitmap.bitmapData = myBitmapData; 
   addChild(myBitmap); 
}

```

is this because I can’t read from that server ?? I can open the images in the browser…

Changing the url to an other server like amazone works …

I see now that if you click on these links:  
[http://www.discogs.com/image/L-150-283-001.jpg](http://www.discogs.com/image/L-150-283-001.jpg)  
you see nothing

but when you copy and past them in the browser, the image shows up.  
Any ideas why this is ?
