hello generous flash experts,  
please help me get some sleep again…  
ive got two variables in \_root:  
var number = 1;  
var url= ‘Pictures/Rotterdam/photo’+number;  
buttons in my main movie change the values of these variables.  
my next button looks like this:  
on(press) {  
number = number +1;  
loadMovie(url);}  
Problem:  
loadMovie loads photo1 and thus has not used the new value for my number variable.  
how do i write my url variable so that it has the new value?
