inside a mc I’ve put two thumb mcs. I’d like to click on the thumbs but onMouseUp doesn’t respond? oMU works on the parent mc… Is this just not allowed? Or am I missing something? Can I bring the thumbs to “the front”? “Swap symbol”? AS2 Code follows:  
.  
.  
…  
stop() // stops play after load of thumbs, frame1.

Thumbs.onRollOver = function() {  
trace(Thumbs.thumbnail\_mc0.\_x) // this works

};

Thumbs.thumbnail\_mc0.onMouseUp = function() {  
trace(“yowzah!”) // this doesn’t  
};

thanks, B
