What effect does a transform function have on the _parent command

Question

Hi
I am trying to load an image onto a symbol in a symbol, that
is spinning via timeline>transform and forms a symbol called
spinner1, spinner2. etc. I want every holder to be a different
image and one use suggested using the _parent function with a
substring function. Will the transform mess this up?
I was suggested to try:
holder.loadMovie("image"+this._parent._name.substring(7)+x);
Which as I understand it tells any instance of the symbol
"holder" to load an image called "image(the seventh letter of the
parent symbol)x" So for any instance of holder in spinner1 it will
load image1x.
My images are assigned using the following:
var image10:String = "logo/jamon.gif"; etc.
"holder" is in "spinner_components"
The symbol "spinner" contains "spinner_components" spinning
using the transform function.
Therefore I also tried the code as:
holder.loadMovie("image"+this._parent._parent._parent_name.substring(7)+x);
and also
holder.loadMovie("image"+this._parent.._parent_name.substring(7)+x);
Neither worked.
Is it the transform function that is messing it all up? or
some syntax?
Thanks

Answer 1

x is a varibale that increase each time it loops and changes
the image displayed.
x is 0, then 1 then 2
spinner is spinner 0, spinner1, spinner2 etc.
thus images should load image00, image01, image02 etc. should
load in spinner0's holder
and images 10,11, 12 etc. in spinner1's holder.
where should this code go - at holder or spinner_components
or spinner.
You can see the final effect (I got arround this problem by
making 8 almost identical spinners)

only my images don't load, like they did in the flash editor.
