Re: [Swftools-common] Loading external images

[Stephen Moran]

Hi Eduardo,

My only thought would be that perhaps you are trying to load a progressive scan .jpg using a flash version prior to when they were supported. Either try to load a non-progressive scan .jpeg or make sure the flash version is >= 8, as I think that's when they added progressive .jpg support.
