</div>

can someone please tell me what i´m making wrong:

```auto
for (i=1; i<=8; i++) {
	attachMovie("mc", "m"+i, i);
	_root["m"+i]._x = 10;
	_root["m"+i]._y = 10+yPos;
	yPos += 70;
	_root["m"+i]._width = 50;
	_root["m"+i]._height = 50;
	_root["m"+i].preload("images/m"+i+".jpg", 40, 50, 50);
	//loadimages
	_root["m"+i].onPress = function() {
		loadMovie(this._name+".jpg", _root.content_mc);
	};
}

```

//i´m using this to attach an mc 8 timesto preload some images to it, but the press event dosen´t work. have I wroted a mistake, I can´t figure it out (preload is a proto) and he works fine, the error only occurs when i click each image, he says he dosen´t find the image

thanks

You’re surely assigning the [font=courier new]onPress[/font] event handler before the image has been loaded.

Post the code for the preload method. 😉

Ok… that’s weird. :-\

The code seems to be fine, it shouldn’t mess up the event the handler. Have you tried a [font=courier new]trace()[/font] to check if the event handler is being called?

```auto
_root["m"+i].onPress = function() {
trace(this._name);
loadMovie(this._name+".jpg", _root.content_mc);
};

```

**PS.** I edited your post. Next time, please use the ActionScript tag [**AS][**/AS] to show your code. 😛

Why don’t you attach your FLA? It would make things easier for me. 😉

And by _alpha_… do you mean to fade in the image?
