Loading external images

In Flash Lite 2.0, as in Flash Lite 1.1, you can use the
the method of the MovieClip object) to load external SWF files into your
loadMovie()
application. Additionally, in Flash Lite 2.0, you can use the
any arbitrary image format that the device supports.
For example, assuming that the target device can decode PNG files, the following code loads
and displays an external PNG file that resides on the web server:
loadMovie("http://www.macromedia.com/image.png", "image_target");
To determine what image formats the target device supports, you can use the
System.capabilities.imageMIMETypes
image MIME types. The index of each element in the array is equal to each supported MIME
type.
For example, the following ActionScript determines whether a device supports PNG images
before the device attempts to load an external PNG file:
if (System.capabilities.imageMIMETypes["image/png"]) {
loadMovie("images/image.png", "mc_myPngImage");
}
Flash Lite limits to five the number of
perform in a given frame, and 10 total operations at any one time. For example, suppose your
application contains code on frame 1 to load six external JPEG images, as shown below:
image1.loadMovie("image1.jpg");
image2.loadMovie("image2.jpg");
image3.loadMovie("image3.jpg");
image4.loadMovie("image4.jpg");
image5.loadMovie("image5.jpg");
image6.loadMovie("image6.jpg"); // Won't load
