FLASH: Displaying images from remote server

[halito]

Hi all,


We're developing a merchandise ordering system using Flash and server-side

scripts which link to an external database.  Flash is going to query a CGI

script, which will return a string containing items which are in-stock.

Flash will parse the string and display a catalog of items based upon

what's in-stock.  Getting text from the external file should be easy (I

think; I haven't tried it yet).  What I want to know is, can Flash fetch an

IMAGE off a server and display it (eg if the CGI script sends a URL

containing the image)?  I'd love for this catalog to contain images.  Any

ideas on how to do this?  


Thanks appreciated.
