not sure if this is the best way top achieve a result but i would like to  
do somthing like this

tester = this.createEmptyMovieClip(“logo\_mc”, 999);  
loadMovie("/images/thumbs" + temp[z].firstChild.nodeValue, tester);  
loadMovie(tester, “button”+y);

basically i am trying to attach a dynamically created movieclip with external image data and varaibales to a clip that is already on the stage

my code as it stands:  
for (z=0; z\<=temp.length; z++) {  
if (temp[z].nodeName == “image”) {  
tester = this.createEmptyMovieClip(“logo\_mc”, 999);  
tester.id = z  
loadMovie("/images/thumbs" + temp[z].firstChild.nodeValue, tester);  
//not sure how to assign the new clip to one on the stage  
// ie loadMovie(tester, “button”+z);  
}

thanks for any advice
