img2swf: dynamic image loading
As Flashmagazine writes:

" Since the release of Flash MX we have been able to load an image file into Flash at run time. Due to codec and player size issues though, this has been limited to files in JPEG format. img2swf changes all that."

Don't miss this excellent LoaderClass() by Ralf Bokelberg and Colin Moock.
[quote]
As Colin Moock, the author of Actionscript - The Definitive Guide stated lately: Preloading still is a major problem for a lot of flashers. The different interfaces to the different filetypes (SWF, XML, Text, Sound), the asynchronous behaviour of the loading process and the uncomplete errorhandling alltogether make preloading really hard to handle. This is why Colin started a petition and proposed a new interface for preloading.
The LoaderClass is based on Colin's interface proposal. Some changes and additions had to be made, because of practical implications.

Don't forget to donate if you fnd the class useful.

[Updated]
Hopefuly I'll launch my site soon!!

For my flash console, I decided to work with the Loader built by Bokel who turned Moock's MovieClipLoader-Interface into an universal Loader interface.
In his words:
[quote]
The new class is able to load and show the loading progress of Sound, XML, LoadVars and MovieClips.
[/quote]

It is true, this is the continuation of my last post. I recomended this class.
In helpQLODhelp you can download the class and one example, here the permalink. For the download, there is a problem with some html tags, so if you find a 404 error edit the link in your browser the current LoaderClass is available at https://www.helpqlodhelp.com/stuff/loaderclass/loaderclass1.01.zip or at the left hand side of https://www.helpqlodhelp.com/blog
Please donate to this guys if you find useful their work.

If you need selected articles, tutorials and resources to learn how to use XML with Flash, this article 'XML and Macromedia Flash from start to finish" writed by Mike Chambers is what you need.

So you want to create dynamic Macromedia Flash content, and everyone is telling you to use XML with Flash. But you know nothing about XML, and have no idea where to start.

As you can remember, the Bokel's LoaderClass was my final selection. Now, Bokel released LoaderClass 1.02. This guy is serious. Really. Please read the release and don't forget to donate if you find his work useful!

"Even with eyes protected by the green spectacles, Dorothy and her friends were at first dazzled by the brilliancy of the wonderful City. The streets were lined with beautiful houses all built of green marble and studded everywhere with sparkling emeralds. They walked over a pavement of the same green marble, and where the blocks were joined together were rows of emeralds, set closely, and glittering in the brightness of the sun. The window panes were of green glass; even the sky above the City had a green tint, and the rays of the sun were green."
L Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Chapter 11 - The Wonderful City of Oz
