Hi,  
I apologize if this is amateurish question, but I’m trying to use loadMovie to load an external picture into an empty movie clip. I have the url of the external picture as a variable (complicated reason) in the actionscript, the problem is, I don’t know how to get the variable to be used as the URL of the loadMovie. I’d really appreciate some help with this 🙂 .
