loading images with loadMovie into a scrolling mc... problem!

[mrk13]

hello u all,

i'm in trouble (not new... *hhhuge sigh*)

i've built this vertical scrolling movie for thumbnail images, according to tuts. works fine - but i'd like to alter the thing so that instead of one long jpg the mc would load the thumbnails separately into empty mc's inside the scrolling mc with loadMovie command. i have lots of thumbnails: if i have to load them all glued into a single jpg the downloading time may be too long for slower connections.

but the thumbnail images won't load. among other things i've tried making separate movie out of the thumbnails, with empty mcs, and there's no problem. it's inside the image scroll movie that loadMoviecommand fails. must be something wrong with the path, but i can't figure out what... or am i maybe trying something that can't be done with this code?

i've included my test fla. there's a bigger sample image to help you see how the thing should work, and on top of it the empty mc's with my non functioning loadMovie commands. i've tried until exhaustion... could someone please help me out? and oh yes: flash mx 2004 here...

thanks a million,
mar
