    loader.load(urlRequest);
    loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded);
}

function imageLoaded(e:Event):void 
{
    for (var m:int = 0; m < parsedObject.item[2].issue.length; m++) 
    {
        var imageHolder:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
        imageHolder.x = m * 10; imageHolder.y = 10;
        addChild(imageHolder);
    }

    var image:Bitmap = (Bitmap)(e.target.content);
    var holder:MovieClip = someArray[loadedImages];
    holder.addChild(image);
    loadedImages++;
         
    if ( loadedImages < someArray.length ) 
    {
