I must be stupid…I cant get it to work !!

In my main timeline in main.swf i got this line:

loadMovie(“pic.swf”, “picHolder”);

Should i just do it like this??

myIdentifier=Math.round(Math.random()\*10000);  
loadMovie(“pic.swf?uniq=”+myIdentifier,“picHolder”);

?

Do i have to do anything in the pic.swf ??
