External file path

[roygbiv123]

I am trying to link a file that is in a folder one step higher than the current folder I'm in. In other words, the SWF is in:

main folder/artists/artist.swf

and the folder with the JPG I'm trying to access is in:

main folder/invetory/artist/01.jpg

Therefore, bot "artists" and "inventory" are two seperate folders in "main folder"

Initially, the path was:
loadMovie("inventory/artist/01.jpg", "artwork_mc");

but once I rearranged the folders, this path is no longer valid. I have a feeling it is something like:
loadMovie("parent/inventory/artist/01.jpg", "artwork_mc");

but this is obviously not the proper syntax.

[Billystyx]

loadMovie("../inventory/artist/01.jpg", "artwork_mc");

should do it

Thank you thank you!! I've been searching for those two dots for the past hour!
