Hello, I have a variable that is refers to the names of folders, and I need to insert the variable into the pathname when I loadMovie. I cannot seem to get the variable to become part of the pathname, any help? thanks

loadMovie(‘VARIABLE/image.jpg’, \_root.loadhere);

I’ve tried parenthesis, [], (), do not know the correct way to call the variable.
