Problem checking if a image exist before loading another image

Hi guys , I’m new in flash and i’m having a problem using conditional statments in AS2. I’m trying to load a new image depending on the image that is allready inside the movieclip. What seems to happen is that flash isn’t verifying the statments that I have in my code and so thr images don’t load correctly acorrding to the conditions. I have a movieclip within a movieclip, the first one has an instance name “photo” and the second one is “empty”.

I’m using this code in one button:

on (release) {

if (empty == "Assets/Scroll.png", _root.photo.empty){


loadMovie("Assets/Photo1.jpg", _root.photo.empty);


} else if (empty == "Assets/images.jpg", _root.photo.empty){


loadMovie("Assets/design.jpg", _root.photo.empty);

gotoAndPlay(6);

}

}

Would someone please help me, I’m loosing my mind :krazy:

Thanks!!
