Does anyone know what is up here?

Go to this link: [http://www.rrobnettmusic.com/test.html](http://www.rrobnettmusic.com/test.html)

This was done in flash 8 & AS2

The Top Left & middle videos load as expected but the bottom right does not load

Here is how each is set up:  
Top left: On stage with the contentPath property set in the properties panel.

Middle: On the stage with an instance name of loader. The contentPath property is set in action script.

Bottom Right: In a movie clip in the library with an idetifier name of icon.

The FLVPlayback component has an instance name of loader. It is loaded in action script along with the contentPath property.

Any idea why the bottom right video will not load?

This is the action script code:

```auto
 
//this sets the content path for the middle video
loader.contentPath = "http://www.rrobnettmusic.com/videos/2009/1107fosters.flv";
//this puts an instance of the icon movie clip on the stage & sets the contentPath for the FLVPlayback component
attachMovie("icon", "icon1", 200);
icon1.loader.contentPath = "http://www.rrobnettmusic.com/videos/2009/1107fosters.flv";
icon1._x = 840;
icon1._y = 480;

```
