hi below is the code im using to import an external image  
this works however im getting other errors  
i think its related to the movieclips i use  
i have tweens on pics.pic1\_mc  
but if i use  
var pics.pic1\_mc to load the image i get expected semi colon before dot error  
can anyone show me how to get the image into a movieclip within a movieclip?  
Thanks

var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
var pic1_mc:Loader = new Loader();
pic1_mc.load(urlRequest);
addChild(pic1_mc);
