I have a flash file where a button loads a movie clip witht he following code:

_on (rollover) {  
this.attachMovie(“proj\_1\_1\_mc”, “window”, 1);  
window.\_x = 100;  
window.y = 100;  
unloadMovie("proj");  
}_

How do i modify this so that the proj\_1\_1\_mc movieclip loads an external image instead of putting it in the flash file and creating a movieclip symbol and thus bloating the file?

thx
