how to load an image into a movieclip?

[tippytarka]

so shameful... this has to be the esaiest thing to do and i searched google and this forum and can't find an answer...

how do you load an image into a movieclip. not creating a blank movie clip but into a movie clip that you have created. so you can do some animation to it?

btw, the image is a transparent background png

The same code you would use to load an external .swf, with ...

container_mc.loadMovie("my_picture.png");

One problem though... Dynamically loading .pngs is only possible with Flash 8. Otherwise, you can only load non-progressive .jpgs.
