Insert image from file in Adobe Flash AS2

[Guest]

Hello!

I am working on one project in Adobe Flash AS2 and I would like to know, is it possible to create such button in the flash movie, that when is pressed on, opens a file browser for the computer. After that, the user chooses an image to insert in the flash movie. And the image changes from the old one (apple) to the new one (flower).

For better understanding I added pictures. I hope You understand what I mean..

I have searched in web how to do this, but no success at all..Hoping on Your advice. Thanks!!!

you can use the loadMovie() method of movieclips to load bitmaps.

Update - I tried using the loadMovie() function and it works, but not exactly as I was imagining. To be more precise with my planned option I will give this example for better understanding :

Lets say, that I make a Flash project for other users who have no programming skills. In this project (the swf movie) there is a place(a button "Insert image")
to upload an image and save it to the swf file, but it can't be done through typing the image URL in the actionscript (like doing an actual coding), but simply by opening the file browser in computer within the swf file.

I hope You understand what I mean.

I would like to know is this option even possible in Adobe Flash AS2

I am thankful for Your replies and advices.

in no version of flash/as can you easily edit a swf file.
