public function loadPic (m:MovieClip, s:String, i:String)

var url:String = “images/”+s+"/"+i+".jpg";
trace (url);
//

        var loader:Loader = new Loader();

        var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
        loader.load (request);
        loader.x=loader.y=13;
        m.addChild (loader);
    }

    private function configureListeners (dispatcher:IEventDispatcher):void
    {
        dispatcher.addEventListener (Event.INIT, initHandler);

    in the above code.  i am trying to access the m variable from the loadPic function in the initHandler function.   The loader is the child of the m mc.
    
    This class is being called in a loop in which im loading a list of thumbnail jpegs.  This loader is attacehd to each one of the movieclips that the jpegs are getting loaded into.   
    
     once the jpg is loaded (initHanlder) i need to remove the loading graphic that is in each of the container movie clips.   i can't access anything from that initHandler.
     
     ie    event.target.parent.   it doesn't work.
