LoadMovie with variables

I'm trying to load jpegs dynamically but the image urls have to be loaded from a text file.

So, I define the variables in the text file:

&image1=http://www...

Then in the flash file I say:

loadMovie(image1, "target")

It doesn't work.

Make sense? I'm kind of up against a deadline so I don't want to spend a lot of time explaining. I prolly won't get a reply before the deadline but I have to try.

Thanks,

David
