change src attribute of image component with javascript

Thank you but this works only as standalone, but not within another function I can loop with random intervals and choose from an array of images.

Currently I am using this simplified example code:

var Images = new Array("img1", "img2", "img3", "img4", "img5");

function doSomething() {

    alert('hi ');

    var min = 1;

    var max = 5;

    var x = (Math.random() * (max - min)) + min;

    this.links1.children[0].image = Images;

    }

(function loop() {

    var rand = Math.round(Math.random() * (1000 - 500)) + 500;

    setTimeout(function() {

            doSomething();

            loop(); 

    }, rand);

}());

The complete animation inclusive js is place at the first frame.

image does not show up. browser console says: "typeError: this.links1 is undefined"
If I leave away the this it says "typeError: links1 is undefined"

Can this problem be solved by exactly correctly programming or is it a bug?

Sincerely

I already tried this.myMC.children[0].image.src = "1.jpg"; with a movieclib with a bitmap in it and
document.getElementById("STAGE NAME OF THE COMPONENT").src = "whatever.jpg"; with an image component

and I tried Instance Name, Name and with the name I wrote right next to the name in the library. Till now no img has shown up. Are you sure the image is automatically added to the dom by the software and does not need to be initialized to the dom before it can be added to the stage dynamically?

Why are you using an image component instead of a bitmap symbol? If you were using a bitmap, changing the image source would be easy:
