I am having difficulty loading images using variable names for images, and then loading the variable with loadMovie.

btn action:

p1\_btn.btn\_mc.onRelease = function() {  
if (!(\_root.image\_1=“01.jpg”)) {  
\_root.smiles\_image\_1 = “01.jpg”;  
\_root.smiles\_image\_2 = “02.jpg”;  
}  
\_parent.\_parent.mask.gotoAndPlay(2);

loader action:

this.\_parent.image\_mc.image\_1.loadMovie(\_root.smiles\_image\_1);  
this.\_parent.image\_mc.image\_2.loadMovie(\_root.smiles\_image\_2);  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
filesize = this.\_parent.image\_mc.image\_1.getBytesTotal();  
loaded = this.\_parent.image\_mc.image\_1.getBytesLoaded();  
loader.\_visible = true;  
if (loaded != filesize) {  
loader.load\_bar.\_xscale = 100\*loaded/filesize;  
} else {  
loader.\_visible = false;  
if (mask.\_alpha\<99) {  
mask.\_alpha -= 10;  
}  
}  
};
