Help needed with a loadMovie, external jpeg problem

Hello all,
I've been having problems with loadMovie using an empty movie clip to load an external jpeg located in the root directory of my files.
I have a gallery made from a movieclip called "images".
Within this movieclip I have several movieclips called Image_1, Image_2 and so forth.
In the Image_1 movieclip I have yet another movieclip called "loader_mc1" and some AS2.0 code on it :

onClipEvent (load) {
loader_mc1.loadMovie("image1.jpg");
}

For some reason I keep getting "Error opening URL : "file:url to the directory I'm using(same one as the swf file)"

The jpg is in the correct directory, I just don't get it, I've double checked all instance names, everything, just doesn't make sense...

Any ideas?? Thx in advance

You could try this.loadMovie("image1.jpg");

I think it could be scope issue. From what I read it goes as follow:

images>image_1>loader_mc1<AS code on this MC

I think your current code is looking for loader_mc1>loader_mc1 (movieclip)
Or, if the above works, then just put the code outside of loader_mc1, like so:

images>image_1<put original AS code here

Hope that makes sense and works

Hey Steven FN,
Thx for your quick reply.
Your post DOES make sense...
I've tried out your ideas but I get the same error message...
I'll keep trying, in the meantime if you get any ideas...
Thanx anyways,
