I can’t manage to load jpg in some duplicated mc. I tried to add the as to the container mc “img”

```auto
onClipEvent (load){
 this.loadMovie(_parent._name+".jpg");
}

```

which trace the correct path to the jpg but the jpg don’t show up. (Which would be wrong as if I remember well, the mc when being duplicated loses the loadMovie part???To be confirm)  
So I thought that maybe the best would be to have it done while duplicating the movie but whatever I have beeen trying has been unsucessful. Here is the codes with duplicating mc.

```auto
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
//CODE GENERAZIONE QUARDATI
//tot=10;
for(var i=1;i<tot+1;i++){
 e="foto"+i;
 if(i%2!=0){
  if(i!=1 && i!=2){
   yp=0;
   xp=_parent["foto"+String(i-2)]._x+68;
  }else{
   xp=0;
   yp=0;
  }
 }else{
  if(i!=1 && i!=2){
   yp=68;
   xp=_parent["foto"+String(i-2)]._x+68;
  }else{
   yp=68;
   xp=0;
  }
 };
 duplicateMovieClip(_parent.foto,e,i);
 _parent[e]._x = xp;
 _parent[e]._y = yp;
 _parent[e].img._xscale=64;
 _parent[e].img._yscale=64;
 _parent[e].n=i;
 _parent[e].dataa=dataa*;
 _parent[e].link=link*;
 
};
//
}

```

A little push in the right direction would do me good please.
