instance in the Output panel.
this.createEmptyMovieClip("image_mc", 1);
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
trace("_url: "+target_mc._url);
};
var image_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
image_mcl.addListener(mclListener);
image_mcl.loadClip("http://www.macromedia.com/images/shared/product_boxes/
112x112/box_studio_112x112.jpg", image_mc);

menu_cm object contains a custom menu item labeled View Image in Browser that has
an associated function named
viewImage().
var menu_cm:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
menu_cm.customItems.push(new ContextMenuItem("View Image in Browser...",
viewImage));
this.createEmptyMovieClip("image_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
target_mc.menu = menu_cm;
};
var image_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
image_mcl.addListener(mclListener);
image_mcl.loadClip("photo1.jpg", image_mc);
function viewImage(target_mc:MovieClip, obj:Object) {
getURL(target_mc._url, "_blank");
}
When you right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the image at runtime, select
View Image in Browser from the context menu to open the image in a browser window.
