The onEnterFrame of a movie clip instance is being called repeatedly as expected. However, if I use loadMovieClip to load a JPEG into it, only the first frame is being called.

You can see what I described above by uncomment/comment the source code included in this post.

I am getting really confused right now, can anyone tell me why?
