i want to load this image:
http://www.accuweather.com/wxpost/small_byzip/ZI12564/11/wxport.png
into a movie clip in my movie.
i use
movieclip.loadMovie("http://www.accuweather.com/wxpost/small_byzip/ZIP_HERE/11/w
xport.png") but nothing shows up.
when i use a jpg stored on my computer something shows up but it is all huge
and always a solid color. basically no image.
anyone know why this would be happening?

I don't think you can load png's. You can load jpg's, but some of them don't
work...I forget what it is about some of them that makes them not load....it's
some setting. Try resaving the jpg with some other, basic settings.

As Bundbary stated the loadMovie command can only be used for jpg
images (or of course swf images).
The bit that Bundbary couldn't remember is that Flash will not work
with progressive jpegs so you have to ensure that the file is not
saved in this format. Pretty annoying if your images come from unknown
sources. You would have thought they could have got a progressive jpeg
decompressor in Flash Player 7.
