i would try removing the \_ from the front of your instance name (remember to give the correct instance name to the mc also). also, remember the ; at the end of the line.

you would have to type it as
\_pilt.loadMovie(“taimed/”+6+“ige.jpg”, 1); not to give errors
However this still probably wont do anything,if \_pilt is the movieclip you want to load into then lose the 1
\_pilt.loadMovie(“taimed/”+6+“ige.jpg”);
if you want to load into a level use
loadMovie(“taimed/”+6+“ige.jpg”,"\_level1");

not if you have 6ige already defined.

that “6ige” is defined… i need to load a .jpg image (located in “taimed/”, and the part before “.jpg” depends of the value of “6ige”) to a movie clip.
is there any other way to to this, if that does’nt work?
cause’ i tryed everything you people said, and it was still wrong to flash mx.

still not sure what you are trying to load into
maybe
myvar = 6+“ige”;
createEmptyMovieClip(“\_pilt”, 1);
\_pilt.loadMovie(“taimed/”+myvar+“.jpg”);

“6ige” is ONE variable. it is spelled together.
and the movie clip(pilt) is already on the stage.

I don`t think it will work-starting with a number.

yeah, i figured that out… but THNX!
i’we changed the variable to “correct”… now.
had this idea to add a loading bar… while the picture loads.
how can i get the “totalbytes” etc. of the picture, that loads?
