so i have an empty movie clip on the stage that loads an external jpeg. on my computer, i have the jpegs in the same folder as the swf/fla file. i had it load:

[color=darkred]on(release){  
\_root.emptypic.loadMovie("[/color][[color=darkred]attention\_MED.jpg[/color]](http://unfun.org/thumbs/attention_MED.jpg)[color=darkred]");  
\_root.emptytext\_mc.gotoAndPlay(“attention”);[/color]  
[color=darkred]}[/color]

[color=black]i uploaded it with the swf in the same directory as the rest of the jpegs, but they didn’t load. then i changed the “attention\_MED.jpg” to [http://site.com/attention\_MED.jpg](http://site.com/attention_MED.jpg) [/color]and it still wouldn’t load.

and yes, i made sure the jpegs aren’t progressive. the weird thing is, they load fine when i’m testing the swf on my computer. they just don’t work after i’ve uploaded them? i don’t know what to do!

it seems like i should have an easy answer to this but i can’t figure out anything. if anyone could help, i would be the happiest amateur flash person ever!

Have you tried

```auto
on(release){
emptypic.loadMovie("attention_MED.jpg");
emptytext_mc.gotoAndPlay("attention");
}

```
