Question

I had an answer before and it was very helpful, thus I modified my code to make it work,however, I’m still in square-1

//load libs import flash.net.*; import flash.geom.Matrix; import flash.display.*; import flash.events.*; import com.adobe.images.JPGEncoder;  function myLoader() {     var loader:Loader = new Loader();     loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, sketch);      var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest('http://www.sergiorodriguez.org/images/2008_5_FXD_VividBlack.jpg');     loader.load(request); }  //action for mouse  stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, moveCursor); Mouse.hide();  function moveCursor(event:MouseEvent):void{     pencil.x = event.stageX;     pencil.y = event.stageY; }   var canvas_mc;     canvas_mc = new MovieClip()  addChildAt(canvas_mc,0); canvas_mc.swapDepths  //draw area to sketch function sketch(e:Event):void{     //load bitmap and draw it to memory     var myBitmapData;         myBitmapData = new BitmapData(500, 500);         myBitmapData.draw(e);      //define matrix     var matrix;         matrix = new flash.geom.Matrix();      //start canvas     canvas_mc.graphics.beginBitmapFill(myBitmapData,matrix, true, true);     canvas_mc.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 500, 500);     canvas_mc.graphics.endFill();      //listening  events     canvas_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDrawing);     canvas_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDrawing);     canvas_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, makeLine);     }         //mouse draws on press function startDrawing(event:MouseEvent):void{        canvas_mc.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0, 1);     canvas_mc.graphics.moveTo(mouseX, mouseY);     canvas_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, makeLine); }  //mouse stops drawing on realese function stopDrawing(event:MouseEvent):void{     canvas_mc.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, makeLine); }  //creates lines function makeLine(event:MouseEvent):void{     canvas_mc.graphics.lineTo(mouseX, mouseY);   }  //call function myLoader()  //start to save onto server var serverPath:String = ''; function createJPG(m:MovieClip, q:Number, fileName:String){     var jpgSource:BitmapData = new BitmapData (m.width, m.height);     jpgSource.draw(m);     var jpgEncoder:JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder(q);     var jpgStream:ByteArray = jpgEncoder.encode(jpgSource);     var header:URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader ('Content-type', 'application/octet-stream');     var jpgURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest ( serverPath+'jpg_encoder_download.php?name=' + fileName + '.jpg');            jpgURLRequest.requestHeaders.push(header);                   jpgURLRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;                    jpgURLRequest.data = jpgStream;      var jpgURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();        //jpgURLLoader.load(jpgURLRequest);          navigateToURL(jpgURLRequest, '_blank'); }  save_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, saveBtnPress); save_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, saveBtnOver); save_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, saveBtnOut);  function saveBtnPress(e:Event):void{     createJPG(canvas_mc, 90, 'sketch'); }  function saveBtnOver(e:Event):void{      Mouse.show();     pencil.visible = false; }  function saveBtnOut(e:Event):void{       Mouse.hide();     pencil.visible = true; }

I’m not sure what the question is, but I assume that you’re trying to paint on the image loaded by the myLoader() function, and that you don’t see the image. In that case, the problem is that you didn’t add the Loader instance to the main sprite as a child. Here’s the fix:

function myLoader() {     var loader:Loader = new Loader();     loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, sketch);      var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest('http://www.sergiorodriguez.org/images/2008_5_FXD_VividBlack.jpg');     loader.load(request);     addChild(loader); } 

Explanation: the loader will eventually cointain the loaded image, but if you want it displayed, you need to display the loader itself.
