I am trying to load an external image into flash after uploading it using file reference. Everything works fine, the image uploads to the server and I ahve the url of where it’s stored.

However, when I try to load it back into flash with this code it doesn’t work, and I’m baffled. Any idea why?

```auto
			// download pic to flash
			function picUploadDone(e:Event):void {
				var urlRequest : URLRequest = new URLRequest(siteUrl + 'wp-content/cards/user_pic_uploads/' + picFileName);
				var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader;
				myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, getUserPicDone);
				myLoader.load(urlRequest);
				
				// resize pic and add to box
				function getUserPicDone(e:Event):void {
					//trace(e.target.data);
					trace(e.target.data);
				}		
				
				
			}

```
