create an empty movie clip (don’t put anything inside it). put it on the main timeline and give it the instance name container.

button 1 AS:[AS]on(release){  
container.loadMovie(“1.jpg”);  
}[/AS]  
button 2 AS:[AS]on(release){  
container.loadMovie(“2.jpg”);  
}[/AS]  
so on and so forth. we’re talking about externally loading the jpg, so if you want to do some research, try searching for external jpg, or external swf.
