Hi,

I’m dynamically creating a row of movieclips, load images in them but I can’t seem to be able to react on any event related to the clip.

Here’s what I did:

var Thumb = [];  
var CurrxPos:Number = 0;

var MainHolder:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(“mcMainHolder”,this.getNextHighestDepth());

var ThumbHolder:MovieClip = MainHolder.createEmptyMovieClip(“mcThumbHolder”, MainHolder.getNextHighestDepth());

for (i=1;i\<5;i++) {  
Thumb\* = ThumbHolder.createEmptyMovieClip(“mcThumb”+i, ThumbHolder.getNextHighestDepth());  
Thumb\*.\_x = CurrxPos;  
CurrxPos += 50;  
}

MainHolder.\_x = 100;  
ThumbHolder.\_x = 100;  
ThumbHolder.\_y = 100;

for(i=1;i\<5;i++) {  
Thumb\*.loadMovie(“images/thumb\_”+i+".jpg");  
}

stop();

**//This part is not working**  
[COLOR=red]**this.mcMainHolder.mcThumbHolder.mcThumb1.onRollOver = function() {**  
**trace(“Mouse over Thumb1!”);**  
**}**

[/COLOR]Thanks a lot!
