Can't access value in array - Please Help

I have written the following code, and the function called by mcListener.onLoadComplete is returning the current value in the array as “undefined.” I want the current image that has finished loading to fade in, but “i” seems to have no meaning within the function. If i replace the * with a number, it works fine. I think this is a scope issue but I can’t figure it out. Any help is much appreciated.

var thumbArray:Array = new Array;
var mcListener:Object = new Object;
var photoHolderLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader;
photoHolderLoader.addListener(mcListener);

function creMenu(){
    for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
        var smallIm:MovieClip = smallPic.attachMovie("thumb","thumbNail"+i,i);
        thumbArray* = smallIm;
        thumbArray*._x = xPos*;
        thumbArray*._y = 0;
        thumbArray*._alpha = 0;
        photoHolderLoader.loadClip(image*, thumbArray*.inner_mc);
        mcListener.onLoadProgress = function(){
            trace("LOADING");
        };
        mcListener.onLoadComplete = function(){
            trace(thumbArray*);
        };
        
        smallIm.picVal = i;
        //THUMBS ROLLOVER/RELEASE
        thumbArray*.onRollOver = function(){
            this.alphaTo(50,1,"easeOutExpo");
        };
        thumbArray*.onRollOut = function(){
            this.alphaTo(100,1,"easeOutExpo");
        };
        thumbArray*.onRelease = function(){
            largePic.workPicMask.scaleTo(100,.5,"easeOutExpo");
            smallPic.alphaTo(0,.5,"easeOutExpo");
            p = this.picVal;
            largePic.picture.loadMovie(large[p], 1);
                largePic.desc_txt.text = caption[p];
                picture_num();
        };
        
    };
}
