I had my first testrun
I had my first testrun on Macromedia’s new baby, Flash MX (ver 6) and here is one great feature I’ve encountered. To load an image dynamically into a movie clip on the Timeline its as simple as using the Flash 5 HTTP method of “GET” or “POST”. For example, this code loads an image into a movie clip on the Timeline where the movie clip that calls the action is located:
myMovieClip.loadMovie(“http://www.blah.com/images/image1.jpg”)
To load sound in a similar way this is used:
this.loadSound(“http://www.blah.com/music/sound1.mp3”, false)
