Ok,  
I’m loading data from an xml file into the flash document. then through AS I dynamically create new movie clips and load them.

That works.

BUT, when i do this instancename.loadMovie(“myjpg.jpg”, 1); the image comes out to be over 100,000 pixels in size. How the heck does this happen? The size of the actual image is 60x44 (px).

I’ve attached a zip that has the 3 small images, the fla and the xml are included.

Run it and you’ll see what i’m talking about. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

NOTE: Rename the Artists.txt to Artist.xml
