How to define content type when an loading image in as3 flex project?

Question

in flashCS3.app i think all you have to do is:

var thumb_url = my_images[i].@URL;
var thumb_loader = new Loader();
thumb_loader.load(new URLRequest(thumb_url));

but i am using flex + as3project.

how can i translate? do i need some sort of bitmapdata class or is there a more transparent translation? the error i get is something along the lines of "content type undefined".

thanks,
jml

Answer 1

i guess, it'd help a lot, if you could provide a URL where it doesn't work ...

you cannot define the content type ... the content type should be defined by the server, in a HTTP response header ... however flash player usually ignores it and looks at the starting sequence to determine the loaded content type ...

as just_a_dude mentioned, the error you get, appears, when the file type is not supported ... what kind of image are you loading?

Answer 2

it looks like it was as simple as a bunk link. sorry for the noise; i had a mal-formatted PHP string that was calling an image up.
