Hi, I have a question that i can’t figure it out…

1st question:

## why is this not working:

for(i=1;i\<=numofpic;i++){  
this.createEmptyMovieClip(“tumbnail”+i,i)  
pic = this[“tumbnail”+i]  
pic.loadMovie(i+".jpg")  
pic.onRelease = function(){trace(this.\_hi)}}

-----The movieclips cannot be click-----…

## 2nd question: why is this work

for(i=1;i\<=numofpic;i++){  
this.createEmptyMovieClip(“tumbnail”+i,i)  
this[“tumbnail”+i].createEmptyMovieClip(“container”,0)  
x = this[“tumbnail”+i].container  
pic = this[“tumbnail”+i]  
x.loadMovie(i+".jpg")  
pic.onRelease = function(){trace(this.\_width)}  
}  
------The movieclips can be click--------
