Your email doesn't quite make sense. You say that you want to use 8
clips, but the last paragraph implies that you are still using one clip.
Whatever you do, when you load a jped into a movie clip, load it into a
*clip within a clip*. The process of loading a jpeg destroys all code,
variables, child clips and ANYTHING that was inside the clip before you
loaded.

I have a main movie clip with 8 frames (this is the one I want to play). Each
frame within the main movie clip contains a movie clip, so I can load a jpeg in
each frame. But when I play the main movie clip, it's like all the loaded jpegs
disapear, resulting in a blank movie.
So you think I should put a clip inside each of the 8 clips to load the jpegs?
Thanks for your help!
Yeah, never use loadMovie on a clip that contains code or anything else.
Everything will be erased - all code, variables, everything. Always
use a child clip whose sole purpose is to contain the bitmap or whatever.

Well that isn't the problem since I don't have any code in the 8 clips. If I
put a stop(); in one of the clips, I'll see the loaded jpeg. But as soon as I
try to play the main movie to advance to other frames, I loose all the jpegs,
even the one that I looking at while stopped.
Now why is that happening? Any alternatives to load dynamic images?
