Hello,

I need help with something…

Is there a way a check if the mouse is “rollovering” a dynamicly created MC? the MC name must contains a same word + a digit

like \_root.myMC1 , \_root.myMC2 , \_root.myMC3 …

TiA 🙂

```auto

dynamically_created_mc_pointer.onRollOver = function(){
if(this._name.substr(0,4) == "myMC"){
//this movieclip was dynamically created
}
}

```

Something like that ?

here’s what i’m trying to do… maybe you could give me a direction, i’m not sure i’m going the right way, and i’m still learning…

Here the 1st part of the code

[AS]  
onClipEvent (load) {  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“holder”, 10);  
//\_root.holder.\_visible = false;  
loadText = new LoadVars();  
loadText.load(“test.txt”);  
loadText.onLoad = function() {  
if (this.total != 0) {  
for (i=1; i\<=this.total; i++) {  
\_root.holder.createEmptyMovieClip([“imageholder”+i], 100+i);  
\_root.holder[“imageholder”+i].\_x = (100_i-100)+5_i;  
loadMovie(this[“imageth”+i], \_root.holder[“imageholder”+i]);

```
		}
	}
};

```

}  
[/AS]

i load 100\*100 thumbnails pictures and create a MC to hold each thumb… This is fine…  
Now i’d like to be able to click on the MC holding the thumbnails and depending of the thumbnail , dynamicly loads another large picture x (from test.txt i.e. &largepicx=photox.jpg with x beeing a variable)

so i was looking for a way to say

onClipEvent(enterFrame){  
\_root.holder.onRollOver = function(){  
//check what children im rollovering on and report it’s “ID” and if i click then open this.largepic(x)}

Is it possible? Sorry if it isn’t so clear…

TiA for your time 🙂

nm found a solution by duplication MC containing a button and by checking the name of the duplication MC when clicking its button…
