Hello all, Pls Help and greatly appreciate your feedbacks

I am trying to make ThumbNail Highlite via button and MC.

Each of the Thumbnails has a same button with instance named “item” 1 to 40.  
Also, I have the highlite MC instance named “highlite” 1 to 40 as well

# I am able to triggar the “highlite” MC with the following:

# onClipEvent (enterFrame) { \_root.main\_nav\_mov.item1.onRelease = function() { \_root.main\_nav\_mov.highlite1.gotoAndPlay(“play\_lite”); }; }

But I can not figure out how to deactiveate it when I click onto the other thubmnail buttons.

So, in general, I can active the highlite, but can not deactivate it

# I have tried the following within the “highlite” mc action but it doesn’t seem to work:

# onClipEvent (enterFrame) { \_root.main\_nav\_mov.item1.onReleaseOutside = function() { \_root.main\_nav\_mov.highlite1.gotoAndStop(“kill\_lite”); }; }

cheers  
many thnx
