Agree.

I recall someone mentioning that the way Gnash loads .SWF files wa
specifically made to support loading of .JPG files instead. Can't tell
you more, though.

I strongly recommend going that way because most probably (haven't
checked this) the loaded JPG is a full featured MC which can be
transformed, store ActionScript variables and so on...

BTW, I noticed that recent Adobe Flash players can load JPG files
through LoadMovie() even if the SWF file is version 5 and even if the
Flash 5 player did *not* support that...
