It seems that Event.ENTER_FRAME is the culprit. I've tried loading a picture with Event.ENTER_FRAME, and then replaced it with Event.ADD_TO_STAGE. The latter works, while the former doesn't.

Also, you need to add file:/// in front of the local file's address.

Am I the only one who notices he makes a URL request and returns a local file request?

Heres what you do

1. Upload the image to http://www.myfrogbag.com/

2. loader.load(new URLRequest("http://files.myfrogbag.com/kyozy2/6a0120a721c2d7 970b0163049871f7970d-800wi.jpg"))//Replace URL

3. ???

4. Profit!!!

URL Request can load local files as well.

URL Request can load local files as well.

I think mandog does have a point, though, since accessing local files might cause security issues...

BTW, HoundByte, are you just including art in your game? If so, why not just embed? ;)

[HoundByte]

i want to use a while loop inside a function that would load created

public function load1(evt:Event)
		{	
		
			while(f1)
			{
				loader.load(new URLRequest("C:/Users/Guest.jimmy-PC/New Folder/src/Art/Player/1.png"))
			}
		   	
		}

but flash mesesup because of the loop, i cant use a while loop in a function that isnt enterframe?
thanks

I'm sorry if this doesn't help much... it probably doesn't, but there's a lot of things I don't understand about this. Why are while-loops restricted to enterFrame? Why would you load a picture in an enterFrame function?

I think you should just embed the picture. The player isn't going to look in your C:\ drive...

BTW, again, you need to add file:/// before your address.

If you want to embed a local file (which I'm assuming since you're trying to load a file from your harddrive) just use the Embed directive.

public class Main extends Sprite {
[Embed(source = "Art/Player/1.png")]
protected const MyImage:Class;

...

var an_image:Bitmap  = new MyImage() as Bitmap;

Assuming that the Art folder is in the same folder as your .as file. Don't forget to add the bitmap to the desired container using addChild.
