Howdy and Welcome… Is your 2\_dbaFrontHR.jpg file compressed as progressive JPEG file??? Flash can only load baseline JPEG file… 😉 ---

it is non progressive. it interesting that test movie in flash will read the image, but it won’t read in any preview in any browsers. ---

In other words, you are able to see the JPEG file loaded within the Flash, but if you load your HTML file that embeds Flash movie file, you don’t see the JPEG files??? Maybe it is the path where the JPEG file is located??? Is your JPEG file located in the same directory as your Flash file??? But then, this doesn’t make much sense either since you see the JPEG files within the Flash authoring environment… Hm… ☹ ---

the swf file when loaded into flash 6 player will read. the html file when loaded into netscape and explorer will not read. all files are in the same directory. this is odd. ---

What about the Flash plugin for the browser??? What is the version of it??? ---

Because that must be the folder the .fla is in. If you ctrl+enter in flash it will put a copy into the same folder as the .fla and play from there… Put the pic in there and try it… (with the /) :: Daveman ---

Flash directory being the directory where you have installed Flash MX??? Where are your Flash movie file and image files located at??? ---

Don’t know… It’s always defaulted to the directory where the .fla is for me. You probably already have, but i would save it again in the same direcory as the pics, close it completly and try it again…See if it still does it… Other than that :q: :q: :q: :q: Anyone else? :: Daveman ---

flash mx was installed in “apps” fla is in a different “directory” i need to step back and troubleshoot from scratch. i will have to do a binary search for this problem. thanks you all. at this point, i have exhausted you guys, i prefer to discuss a little more complicated problem with you next time. you all have been very helpful. ---

Yes… If you really can’t troubleshoot it, please provide the files so that people can take a look at it… Also, if you find the problem, let us know what that is… 😉
