Hi,  
I want to create a gallery,  
to do so, I need to create about 10 movieclips 100x100 on the stage  
and load jpg/gif files into them.  
How can I do it in AS3?

Thanks

just create a loader and a URLRequest, and have an event handler there for when the image is done loading

var loader:Loader = new Loader();  
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“file”);  
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler);  
loader.load(mRequest);
