Lets say I have a picture that I want to load directly in to a movieclip.

Movieclip name = picture  
Image name = image.jpg

I tried something like this  
loadMovie(“image.jpg”, picture);  
but didnt work ☹

I have read everything on the link and it doesnt help me anything. So what am I doing wrong? Cant find anything about this in the forum either…  
The image is the only dynamically loaded object.

I have a few dynamic textfields and a few other things but thats all.

```auto
picture.loadMovie("image.jpg");

```

should work (if picture is the instancename and is on the same timeline)  
If that still don’t works, try another (non-progressive) jpg;)
