I think I understand what you want to do, you're on the right track
in your thinking ....
You can't load a gif or jpeg from the server into a Flash movie, but
you can load another swf (which can contain bitmaps) into or on top
of a swf which already exists on the page.
Look for the concept loadMovie in the documentation.
PS - and forget about scenes ... you don't want to use scenes. Once
you figure out movie clips and loadMovie you'll realize that scenes
are useless. They're just the leftover of what was a good idea in
Flash 2.
