Nope, you need Generator to do this.
You can download the generator extensions to flash as well as a time-limited
version of the server from MMs site..

Subject: FLASH: external GIF in SWF


can flash pull a GIF from an external URL every time it loads in a browser?

it all has to do with a flash ad banner that needs to be tracked by placing
a 1x1pixel GIF within it, and the number of times the banner is
viewed/loaded into any browser is counted by the pings to the server the
1x1pixel GIF resides on -- every time the banner is loaded, it should send a
call for the GIF and hence be counted

how do I set flash to look for (and load?) the GIF through an absolute URL?

thanx in advance
