Degenerate and baise art thou.
If on the clip...
onEnterFrame{;
this.loadMovie(imagename or var);
}
OR
From another clip or the root....
onEnterFrame{;
_root.target.loadMovie(imagename or var);
}

Ok first if you put a clipevent in the clip itself you need to put it thus:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
}
But note that clip event is for something you want to happen EVERY FRAME of the movie. Not what you want here for loading an image.
Secondly this would be better put in the root timeline thus:
mc2.loadMovie("lyrics.PNG")
and it would be executed when the movie starts.

up to my .as in code
Remember using PNG as the externally loaded graphic format will require a Flash 8 player to view.

Loading into a mc using code inside the mc still doesnt work for me... hmmmmm, putting the code in the root does though. Ive had a look at the link Chris, cheers for the info mate

Originally, you weren't putting the actions "in" the clip but "on" it. You were using a clip event which is not the optimal place to script for what you need to do in this particular example. To use the script specifically in that clip you should double click the clip onstage, choose "frames" from the properties window so you enter it's timeline and then script in it's timeline just as you would the _root. This way it gets initiated as soon as it is placed in your _root timeline and can also be removed from _root by just removing it's instance instead of having to use a _root script to empty the clip contents.
This places your original script in the second frame of the mc29 clip which is fired simply by being placed on frame 1 of the _root. I deleted the white box which defined the outline of your clip and instead let the loaded image decide the width/height and instead I focus on placing the empty mc29 clip on an X/Y value that accomodates my 416x416 koolmoves logo which recreates the size you were using for the white box.

I'm running the beta and since I test pretty constant my "BIN" subdirectory is using the betas contents since I get so many. If you get errors opening my FUN file....you should be able to disregard it and still edit it. If not...let me know.
