Load external GIF or PNG image to Flash ???

[thangnguyen]

Hi,
I heard that Flash can not load external image except image in JPG format. Is that correct ?
a work-around solution is putting the image ( in GIF ) into another flash, then the main Flash will load the GIF files from that swf.
But I still wonder if theres another solution for that !
if you got any idea or a solution, please help me through !

thanks,

Thang.

correct...jpg only and not progressive

the workaround you have is the only one i know of but there may be a third party tool that could help.

thanks,

I just found a free tool, which can convert a GIF file to a SWF. It works great. The rest of my work is converting my files (in transparent PNG) into GIF format - not using LZW compression-'cause I don't have money to pay for Unisys ..
