The only way you will get round this is to make your images SWF files -
i.e. create a simple template and publich movies with the jpegs in place
and load the movies in dynamically - MX just adds the option to load a
Jpeg.

There is JGenerator (open-source) or another piece of software you could
use to genereate SWF's on the fly from the Jpegs - but this is not
v.efficient.

P.S. Took a look at your site, nice approach.

I recently produced a demo that dynamically loads images in - 
http://proofing.web-engineer.co.uk/fh
this is flash 6 movie, but we have notice some erroneous bugs on some
Macs with this technique in MX.

You safest bet is to use external SWF files and place the Jpegs in them.

P.S. Take a peek at my site @ www.web-engineer.co.uk if ever you company
needs to sub contract, or needs a freelancer let me know.

1. Dynamic Images

Hey guys,

I need to find out how to dynamically load images into Flash but can't
use 
the new support for it in Flash MX as I have to support Flash 5 player. 

I know that there was a 'workaround' in Flash 5 - any ideas? 

One way would be to include each image in a swf, but this means lots of 
work, plus would prevent users from uploading their own images. 

The site is a redesign of a dynamic HTML version where content is pulled

from a database using ASP, so the name of the image to load would be 
stuffed into a variable already. 

Any ideas? 


Cheers, 






Paul
