What's wrong with my syntax?

Question

I'm getting an error with this. What's wrong with my syntax?
Error: Scene 1, Layer 'actions', Frame 1, Line 21 1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before semicolon.
// Line 21
holder.load(new URLRequest("Interactive_StrategyMap.swf" + "?random=" + Math.random();));

Hi Ned,
I'm trying to force my preloader to load the .swf every time. I do not want it stored in cache (because I'm trying to solve the issue where the dynamic text doesn't load on refresh)
So, I've added this math.random to the end of the string... but now the preloader .swf apparently can't see the .swf I want it to load because the path is Interactive_StrategyMap.swf?random=123 instead of Interactive_StrategyMap.swf
The error I get is:
completeHandler: Interactive_StrategyMap.swf?random=123
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
My full code is:
//THIS IS THE PRELOADER CONTAINER THAT LOADS THE INTERACTIVE
//STRATEGY MAP (Interactive_StrategyMap.swf).
// CREATE A NEW LOADER OBJECT TO HOLD THE LOADED CONTENT
var holder:Loader = new Loader();
var myString:String = "Interactive_StrategyMap.swf" + "?random=123" + Math.random();
addChild(holder);
// CREATE EVENT HANDLERS TO TRACK THE LOADING PROGRESS
// AND TO TRACK THE COMPLETION OF THE LOADED CONTENT
holder.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onLoading);
holder.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
function onComplete(e:Event):void {
this.loadingClip.visible = false;
function onLoading(e:ProgressEvent):void {
var pcent:Number = e.target.bytesLoaded / e.target.bytesTotal * 100;
loadingClip.loadingText.text = int(pcent) + "%";
// LOAD THE EXTERNAL CONTENT
holder.load(new URLRequest(myString));
trace("completeHandler: " + myString);
