Hi, I builded this dynamic gallery page that display the pictures using an UI
Loader component.
When I test the movie in Flash the gallery loads and displays the external
picture with no problems. However, once the html and SWF file are upoladed on
line you can see everything correctly but the clickable thumbnails won`t open
any picture.
In the FTP I`m keeping the same exact path as my directory.
The code says
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ldr1)
function ldr1 (e:Event) {
my_ldr.source = "PICTURES/FASHION/fashion1.jpg";

}

So, I have a PICTURES folder in the same directory as the SWF and HTML
document and inside of it I have the FASHION folder containing the pictures
called "fashion1", "fashion2", and so forth...

I can send more code if necessary. It seems a pretty straightforward process
and it should work, but I can gigure out why is not working.

Anybody have any idea why?

Here` s the website in progress
http://www.erinbarry.co.uk/staging/home.html

I see in the directory tree of your web host that all of your jpg's have all
caps for their extensions (fashion1.JPG not fashion1.jpg). If you change the
path in the Flash or change the filenames this will work. Often, your local
computer OS doesn't care about caps vs no-caps, whereas web servers often do
care, and in this instance your web server does.

To test this, if you put
"http://www.erinbarry.co.uk/staging/PICTURES/FASHION/fashion1.jpg" into the
browser path you get a "404 Not Found" error. If you change it to
"http://www.erinbarry.co.uk/staging/PICTURES/FASHION/fashion1.JPG" you get the
image.
