Dynamic pictures online/offline

[FCiL]

I have this code:

i=1;
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("Skaerm", 1);
loadMovie("PICT"+i+".jpg", Skaerm);

It works fine when i publish it and run the html file created from my lokal drive.

When I transfer all the files to the internet it doesn't work. Any ideas?

you did remember to load the jpeg onto the sever as well and place it in the same folder as the swf ?

if you have done that then alter the loadmovie action to show the full url of the jpg

I tried to use the full url of the jpg, and again it worked on my local drive, but not on the internet.

Then I deleted my temporary internet files, and it worked.

Is there a reset or unload function in flash that will have the same effect?

thats a cache problem with the browser

Couldn't get it to work, but found this solution

i=1;
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("Skaerm", 1);
rn = Math.round(Math.random()*1000000);
loadMovie("[URL unfurl="true"]http://xxx.xxx.xxx/pict"+i+".jpg?reload="+rn,[/URL] Skaerm);

I have no idea what it does, but it works.
