Another question about event.target

1

I set up an xml file and loader to display thumbs in my scroll pane. I think I am adding the images using the correct methods but when I want to click on a thumbnail and trace what I clicked on the output just reveals [object Loader]. I want to load the bigPic into the picHolder movieClip. I am sure there is something fundamental I am missing. Any help appreciated.


import fl.containers.ScrollPane;
import fl.controls.ScrollPolicy;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

//
var space:int = 25;//space between images
var xt:int = 0;
var yt:int = 0;
var w:int = 0;

//create a movie clip to hold the large images
var picHolder:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(picHolder);
picHolder.width=400;
picHolder.height=300
picHolder.x=10;
picHolder.y=10;

// create a movie clip to be the source for the scroll pane
var imageHolder:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(imageHolder);

//create a scrollPane and load the imageHolder into the scrollPane
var imagePane:ScrollPane = new ScrollPane();
imagePane.setSize(320, 120);
imagePane.move(10, 230);
imagePane.source = imageHolder;
addChild(imagePane);

//load XML file 
var imagesXML:XML;
var imagesXMLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
imagesXMLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlImagesLoaded, false, 0, true);
imagesXMLLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError, false,0,true);
imagesXMLLoader.load(new URLRequest("images.xml"));

function xmlImagesLoaded(event:Event):void {
    try {
        imagesXML = XML(event.target.data);
        imagesXMLLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlImagesLoaded);

            format.kerning = 0;

            myText1.defaultTextFormat = format;
            myText1.text = thumbCaption;

            //w = myText1.width;

            imageHolder.addChild(picloader);

            w = 110;

            xt = xt+w+space;
