Load an external jpg file

1

hi, i’m making a new site for me new cartoonfox comic. and i want to be able to load the comic jpg externaly, instead of having it in the swf. is there anyway? i know how to load an external swf file, is it the same way for a jpg?

hehe ok thanks ^-^

hmmm, i had this for loading the jpg (which is on the same server/same folder as the swf)


stop();
m_name.loadMovie("episode-001.jpg");
m_name._visible = false;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("temp", 1);
temp.onEnterFrame = function() {
	if (m_name.getBytesLoaded() == m_name.getBytesTotal() && m_name.getBytesTotal() != 0) {
		m_name._visible = true;
		loaded = true;
		nextFrame();
		delete this.onEnterFrame;
	}
};

but it doesnt work. but if i put the jpg in a swf, and change “episode-001.jpg” with “episode-01.swf” it works. i’m guessing its something to do witht the loadMovie bit?

thanks

Is your .jpg maybe progressive?

(You can’t load progressive .jpg’s dynamically.)

:rock:

Another server…Hmmm

I know that loading external data from another server won’t work (without cross domain policy files, at least), but I don’t know if that applies to .jpg’s as well.
I’ve never tried it… But I have seen it done, though.

[size=1](just can’t remember the address… It was this site where you could enter an URL of a jpg and then apply funny effects to it)

[size=2]So I suppose you could try and if it won’t work, then it won’t work :smiley:

Edit: Found the site http://www.andyfoulds.co.uk/main.html

or… http://www.foulds2000.freeserve.co.uk/test/drawMask12.html[/size][/size][url=“http://www.foulds2000.freeserve.co…drawMask12.html”]

hmm, so how would i do it? ^-^

i’ve seen a site where it’s an swf, but in the middle loads a html page. so i’m guessing i need to do something like this?

Hmm… you didn’t try simply putting an absolute path to your loading code?


 m_name.loadMovie("http://www.somesite.com/somepic.jpg");

tell me, and then i’ll know if i can do it or not ^-~
