Hi there,
I just submitted this as a bug report, but I’m also posting here since this is stopping me from being able to ship a finished app, since I cannot find a suitable workaround.
The problem is that display.loadRemoteImage not only loads a grayscale JPEG incorrectly, but it also acts like it did load it correctly and returns a valid, but unusable display object to the listener.
2 Possible fixes:
- (best fix) Loading of grayscale JPEGs must be supported (should be trivial since the JPEG loader most likely already supports it, the image just needs to be correctly made into a 32bit RGBA bitmap afterwards)
Or
- (minimal fix) The listener must be fixed to not be fed a valid, but unusable display object
This problem was brought up by someone else earlier, and I recently commented on it when I found out it became a showstopper for me:

Thanks!
