External SWFs not loading, Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me troubleshoot this bit of code. I’m just trying to load external swf’s but I keep getting an ‘URL not found’ error, everything’s locating in the same directory, is this a scope thing? I’m a little confused why this isn’t working, any help would be much appreciated.

var movieName:String=new String();
var movieLoader:Loader=new Loader();
var movieReq:URLRequest=new URLRequest(movieName);

function contactLoader(mc:MovieClip):void {
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, loadPage);
var movieName=(“gsContact.swf”);
};
function graphicsLoader(mc:MovieClip):void {
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, loadPage);
var movieName=(“gsProjects.swf”);
};
function loadPage(e:MouseEvent):void {
trace(movieName);
movieLoader.load(movieReq);
stage.addChild(movieLoader);
fadeMenu=new Tween(movieLoader, “alpha”, Regular.easeIn, 0, 1, 1, true);
movieLoader.x=225;
movieLoader.y=45;
};
contactLoader(menuBar_mc.contactBtn_mc);
graphicsLoader(menuBar_mc.graphicsBtn_mc);
