HEllo-

I am creating a photo gallery… I load all the thumbnail images dynamically into an empty movieClip which is attached to a movie clip called “thumbs” from the library. all is working, except the onRelease method for each thumbnail mc is not triggering. here is the code- thanks for your wisdom!

//loadThumbs();  
for (i = 1; i \< 17; i++) {  
var t = “thumb” + i;  
thumbs.attachMovie(“image”, t, i);  
thumbs[t].\_x = 85\*(i-1);  
thumbs[t].loadMovie(this.pathToThumbs + this.tArray\*, i);  
thumbs[t].onRelease = function() {  
thumbnail(this);  
trace(this);  
};  
}
