Why won't Flex Load My Images

Question

I have Flex application(not AIR) thats load image and perform some effects, application works well in flash builder and in the debug folder. But when I am trying to copy *.swf to another local folder, appears problems with image loading.

Can anybody help me? May be need specify some restriction or rules?

UPDATE You don't understand me, i am trying to load image from desktop using FileReference class, image shows successfully, but origBitmap after saveAsBitmap() method is null

public function loadImage():void
{
  fileRef.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, onFileSelected); 
  var textTypeFilter:FileFilter = new FileFilter("Images (*.jpg, *.jpeg, *.gif,*.png)", "*.jpg; *.jpeg; *.gif; *.png"); 
  fileRef.browse([textTypeFilter]); 
}

public function onFileSelected(evt:Event):void 
{ 

  fileRef.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete); 
  fileRef.load(); 

} 

public function onComplete(evt:Event):void 
{ 
byteArr = fileRef.data as ByteArray;
ldr = new Loader();
ldr.loadBytes(byteArr);
fileRef.removeEventListener(Event.SELECT, onFileSelected);
fileRef.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete); 
callLater(show);
} 

public function show():void
{    
 currImg.source = ldr;
 callLater(saveAsBitmap);

}
public function saveAsBitmap():void
{
 bd = new BitmapData(currImg.contentWidth * currImg.scaleX, currImg.contentHeight *  currImg.scaleY,true);
 bd.draw(currImg as IBitmapDrawable);
 origBitmap = new Bitmap(bd);
 }

//.....

<mx:Image id="currImg"/>

//.....

Show some code. Are your images embedded? Or are you loading them via a URL? What makes you think this is immediately a security sandbox issue? — JeffryHouser

You aren't loading images because of sandbox security errors. You will need to add a crossdomain.xml to the the server that is storing the image files.

I believe that adobe has recently loosened their crossdomain restrictions for bitmaps. However, I think you still won't be able to manipulate the bytearray data.
