i have my text successfully loading into flash from mysql record, (thanks to nickZA for helping me out on final flash xml read)

now, im trying do the same thing but to include an image path in a record,

im using phpMyAdmin which will generate dynamic xml and finally read in flash,

i can see that my dynamic xml with path to an image is created successfully, but it just does not want to display that image in flash,

\*\*  
im using phpMyAdmin to do the following:\*\*

1. create a table for the text
2. create a table for image path (i think in this table something is not right, i heard for images you must use ‘blob’ instead of ‘varchar’ when creating a table

anyone?
