menu images don't call

Hello all.
I'm changing my menu to the "corporation" style but I have a problem.
The images will not show, leaving a big red X in their place.
The images are whitedots.gif and orangedots.gif.
They are called in the menu .js file and they ARE in the same directory as the rest of the menu items.
Am I missing something?
Please help.

Hey friend.
Sorry for the long wait. I had changed back to the other menu, and I've been busy so didn't see this answer. Wish there was a watch function that would email when there is an answer.
I've changed the menu now to 'corporation' where you or anyone can look at it at http://7times.org .
I appreciate your help.

Your code works OK for me (on my server)
You need to update your Milonic code:
http://www.milonic.com/menuvinfo.php
Then try:
1. Check file permissions on orangedots.gif
2. Try creating a page that ONLY has the Milonic code on and run it on your server. Hopefully that will show if it's your pages that are causing the problem.
3. Try moving all Milonic files in to root and change your paths in your header code (worked for someone else
)
4. Try using the full path instead of relative (eg http://7times.org/menu/files.js)

Thanks. I have updated the code.
The only problem I seem to have are the images that the corporation menu style uses. They are orangedot.gif and whitedot.gif .
The rest of the menu works as designed.
I have added the images in the top of the menu_data.js but still only have the red X showing which shows the menu isn't finding the graphics although they are in the same directory.
I could change everything to root but I don't think that will solve anything.
It may be how I'm calling the images in the .js file.
The orange dots are called with image="orangedots.gif" and the white dots are called with overimage="whitedots.gif".
File permissions are (don't remember the numbers) all 3 read, owner write, rest 0. I think that is 610 but I may be wrong.
Maybe I don't have the call right? I'm going to check the "corporation" menu file closer.
Thanks for your help.

Well friend, You put me on to the right slant.
I went into menu_data.js and set the paths using full paths to the images. Everything is now working if you care to look.
I do appreciate your help!
