I am trying to load a jpg from my server into a blank movie clip that I have placed on the root timeline. I also have an animated movieclip on the root timeline as well. Why does my animation movieclip disappear when the jpg is loaded into the blank movie clip?? How can I fix this?

Here is my code. Note: _tn\_mc_ is the animation movieclip which contains buttons that when pressed, should load the jpg into the _blank\_mc_. For some reason \*tn\_mc \*disappears when the _turnOn_ (user-defined, loadMovie) function is called. I’m using unloadMovie first because I want different buttons to load different jpgs, and the jpg that was open needs to disappear when a new jpg is called. I tried taking out the unloadMovie to see if that was the problem, but it didn’t seem to be.

function turnOn (name) {  
unloadMovie (blank\_mc);  
loadMovie (“[http://www.newyorklife.com/NYL2/images/"+name+".jpg](http://www.newyorklife.com/NYL2/images/)”, blank\_mc);  
};  
\_root.tn\_mc.mdubey\_btn.onPress = function () {  
turnOn (“aa\_truth\_big”);  
};  
stop();
