   Thank you for the easy guide ^_^
   it also seems that you can change the image whenever you want by redoing the
   movieClip.loadMovie(url);
   line and giving a different url without having to redo the whole lot XD
   (probibly obvious but thought i would say it anyway)

   Useless example!

   Running the Example code for ActionScript 3.0 results in an error:
   TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Loader@1946e6a1 to mx.core.IUIComponent.

   You can’t display the content of a Loader that easy.

   Mark,

   This example was for Flash CS3/CS4/ActionScript 3.0, not for a Flex project.

   Great work. Simple. There is one doubt though. I get an error when I execute the code ..

   Error opening URL ‘http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/images/image2.jpg’
   Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.

   I replaced the URL with a file on my system, then it works fine. I tried replacing your link with another link from my website, but it gave the same error. What might be the reason? Im suspecting a security sandbox issue, sometimes links dont work in Flash due to the network settings here. Or is it something to do with the code?

   Regards and Thanks,
   Roshan

   This way is a little bit faster…

   // ActionScript 3.0
   var loader:Loader = new Loader();
   loader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com/devnet/images/160x160/flash_cs3_logo.jpg"));
   addChild(loader);

   Everytime I try to use this script I get the following error:
   Error opening URL '%SITE PATH%'
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.

   I’ve tried with many different site paths (all with correct URLs I even tried with the two in this tutorial!) but nothing seems to work :(

   please help!

    How would I get this to work where you can click buttons to load these various images, one at a time?
