I’m trying to use loadMovie for a MC/Button inside my movie. And it doesn’t want to work.  
Maybe I’m doing something wrong. I would be so grateful if someone would take a look at my code for me.

So I have 6 MC’s on my stage. These 6 are all the same (same symbol) But each one is named different starting from item1 to item6.

So inside each of these 6 MC’s are a few frames with a jpg’s on each frame.

Now I don’t want these jpg’s to be part of the main movie, as this makes my movie size too large. So what I need to do is loadMovie each JPEG.

SO at the moment I have some AS on each of these 6 MC’s, and this AS dynamically tells each MC which frame to stop on.

the jpeg on each frame is a button with an MC inside it.

SO now I tried to put something like this on the MC inside each button

onClipEvent (load) {  
this.loadMovie(“pic10.jpg”);  
}

But this doesn’t work. What am I doing wrong?

I would be so grateful for some help or tips or anything. Thanks 😃 😃 😃
