first of all thanks for your answer...
When I include that function flash displays the picture on the top left. and
the colors are wrong.
Is it anyhow possible to move the picture?
And do you know why the colors are different than the actual colors of the pic?

Hi Bumi
I'm not sure in regard to colors, this seem weird to be honest with you.
Do you think is possible you could upload to some URL the photo and we try to
test it out. See whether is it general problem or only on your end.

In regard to position.
In flash everything refer to top left corner.
You can position the level using
_level1._x=345;
_level1._y=123;
where 345 and 123 are coordinates in pixels.

However , there problem with this is , that the level MUST be loaded, at least partially
in order to apply new cords to it.
So you will have photo appear first , than get reposition.

You could load the image into empty movie clip.
The clip position can be control at will, at any time.
Hit in flash CTRL F8 - to create new movie clip.
Now close it so you back to main stage , open library CTRL L
and you will see you empty clip there , drag it on stage.
It appears as little dot.
Select that dot and hit CTRL F3 to open properties panel , in the box
< instance name > type something like HOLDER

Now change action that load the image to :
loadMovie(picUrl+picName+".jpg", "HOLDER");

You can position it by manually moving the empty holder or by using action :
_root.HOLDER._x=123;
_root.HOLDER._y=123;

Pretty much it :)
