Put this code on the "onButtonPress" handle of your button that will load the image.

loadMovie("images/image.jpg", _root.placeholder);

Then, make sure you have a folder named "images" that contains the JPG image you are calling. (In this case, "image.jpg".) The "_root.placeholder" portion of the code refers to the name of a transparent object which has the anchor point in the left hand corner which the loaded JPG's left corner (it's default anchor point) will line up with.

Note, however, that while this does work, it will only work for Flash Players that are higher than version 5. I believe the ability to load a JPG was added in the first MX release of Flash.

Hope that helps.
