Action Script to load external image and refresh

[dXh]

Hello all. I am trying to create a swf that will load a specified image, then reload the same name image after 5 seconds. I traditionally would do this is Java, but that is not an option for me.
So the image changes every 5 seconds, but the name does not.
I have tried the following with no luck:
Code:

function loadImage(){
myMovieClip.loadMovie("path/to/image/image.jpg?ID="+getTimer());
onEnterFrame = function(){
if(Math.ceil(myMovieClip.getBytesLoaded()) == myMovieClip.getBytesTotal()){
delete onEnterFrame
loadImage();
}
}
}

I greatly appreciate any help I can get from the flash experts.
Thanks

I'll assume you're using actionscript 3.0. If not, I apologize. (I never bothered to learn as2 past on(click){gotoandplay(1);}. lol)

First off, open up the components window and put a UILoader component on your frame and give it an instance name (I'll just call mine 'pictureframe').

Then, the proper code would be

import flash.utils.*;

pictureframe.source = "whatever.jpg";

var t:Timer = new Timer(5000); // 5000ms

function reloadPicture(e:TimerEvent):void
{
	pictureframe.source = "whatever.jpg?x="+t.currentCount;
}
t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, reloadPicture);
