Loading .jpg images with loadMovie

programming flash
1

Hi!

Does anyone know what might be the reason that some pictures load, and others don’t.

I was trying to make a picture-gallery with flash, and was just about to toss my computer out the door, when I thought about trying the same images on a working solution. The images didn’t load.

The I tried my own version with the completed ones’ pictures. It worked. Why is this?

Here’s an url to one of the not loading pictures.

As a sidenote, to view the pictures go to http://nikke.letm.com/picknick2002 :slight_smile:

It maybe because you are trying to load it to the _root level

Try this to load your jpg to _level1:

loadMovie("http://www.thelastgamer.net/bradsplace/Gallery 1/adriana_karembeu_l2.jpg", _level1);

No, this is not the problem. I am loading the image into a mc. It works fine for other images. This image (and some others, see first post) cause no error. They seem to load, but don’t display…

Strange, you are doing exactly the same with pics that load and with other pics that don’t. I’ve only loaded jpeg files in to flash in this way and in the reference in flash they only mention jpeg files being loaded. I’m wondering what the type of image file you are using are they all jpegs or are some gifs for example?

However, I did notice in your post that you said a jpeg file was not loading correctly the way that you want it to.

I’ve got no other ideas on this one. Good luck <:}

Yes, the pictures are all jpegs. I find it quite baffling as well. I tried making working solutions load them, with the same result.

You are welcome to download the image linked in the first post and try it yourself.

It’s probably something with the colordepth, palette or the likes. Or that is my best guess. Go figure… :-\

Thanks to all who replied. I found the answer. The images were saved ‘progressive.’

Thanks. I’ll bare that in mind in the future when loading jpegs next.
