Please can some one help, I am working in Flash cs3 with actionscript 2

Is it possible to loadMovie into the main movie when the swf is not located in the same folder that the main swf is located

This is the script that works when I am loading the swf from the same folder as the main swf,

this.createEmptyMovieClip(“empty\_mc”, 1);  
empty\_mc.loadMovie(“pageflip\_loader.swf”);this.cre ateEmptyMovieClip(“empty\_mc”, 1);  
empty\_mc.loadMovie(“pageflip\_loader.swf”);  
button1\_btn.onRelease = function()  
{  
empty\_mc.unloadMovie();  
};  
empty\_2\_mc.loadMovie(“pageflip\_loader.swf”);  
button2\_btn.onRelease = function()  
{  
empty\_2\_mc.loadMovie(“pageflip\_loader.swf”)

I need to load a second movie into the third frame of my project, I placed the swf that is to be loaded into a folder as it is a loader for a flipbook, and it has the same name

I have tried this, but it does not work, can someone PLEASE help.

this.createEmptyMovieClip(“empty\_mc”, 1);  
empty\_mc.loadMovie(“flipbook\_pb/pageflip\_loader.swf”);this.createEmptyMovieClip(“e mpty\_mc”, 1);  
empty\_mc.loadMovie(“flipbook\_pb/pageflip\_loader.swf”);  
button1\_btn.onRelease = function()  
{  
empty\_mc.unloadMovie();  
};  
empty\_2\_mc.loadMovie(“flipbook\_pb/pageflip\_loader.swf”);  
button2\_btn.onRelease = function()  
{  
empty\_2\_mc.loadMovie();  
}
