you should not use the importFileInto method as it uses way too much RAM,
use the member.filename property instead and get the image of the member
to insert, that's faster.

you have to use the mac path delimiter, not the windows one.
I recommend using a function or global to set it once at the
beginning of your movie:

gPathDelim = (the moviePath).char[(the moviePath).chars.count]

that way you can make sure you have the correct path.
