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);
