Greetings

I’m trying to load a movieclip but am having problems getting it where I want. I thought this was how you do it, but I guess not…

```auto

stop();
fred_mc.buttonMode = true;
loop_mc.buttonMode = true;
thump_mc.buttonMode = true;
kmod_mc.buttonMode = true;
var photoGallery:galleryPhoto = new galleryPhoto();
var flashGallery:galleryFlash = new galleryFlash();
fred_mc.targetMC = photoGallery;
loop_mc.targetMC = flashGallery;
fred_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, thumbOver);
fred_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, thumbOut);
fred_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openPhoto);
loop_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, thumbOver);
loop_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, thumbOut);
//loop_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openFlash);
thump_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, thumbOver);
thump_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, thumbOut);
//thump_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openIllustrator);
kmod_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, thumbOver);
kmod_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, thumbOut);
//kmod_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openPaintings);
function thumbOver(e:MouseEvent):void
{
 e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("over");
}
function thumbOut(e:MouseEvent):void
{
 e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("out");
}
function openPhoto(e:MouseEvent):void
{
 addChild(photoGallery);
 photoGallery.x = 0;
 photoGallery.y = 0;
 photoGallery.gotoAndPlay(1);
}

```

What am I doing wrong?
