Really. Whats sad is I really don't know how all this works. I have been coding AS1 for about 2 years now and I have gotten this far without really know much besides understanding basic logic really well. I don't mean to ask a lot of questions I am just at one of those humps in my learning that I need a little insight into what's possible.
I never knew I could get different scopes by tracing(this)... Interesting stuff. I am going to look more but sorry if I have to ask...

What does trace(rfcClip) show? That should be the same name as your clip. What does trace(this) show in your loadImages function show? That should be the same timeline as the clip you are targeting... I know you're frustrated, don't give up. Just a little logic with trace statements will show you where you are going wrong.
