No problem, the only condition is that the image is a JPG file. Then use this:

[AS]
on(release){
_root.holder.loadMovie(“http://www.whatever.com/image.jpg”);
}
[/AS]
… where holder is a movieclip at root to load the image in.

Right kax sigh ;):stuck_out_tongue:

Every picture on the internet is stored on a server and has a URL. The URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is what you need to get the image in Flash. In my example, http://www.whatever.com/image.jpg is the URL to the image. Now to know the URL of the image you want, go to the site it’s on, right click the image and choose Properties. The Properties window will pop up. In this window you can read the URL. Fill it in in the AS and you’re done :slight_smile:
