Hi there!  
I’m currently working on a rather complex picture gallery and I’ve run across a problem I just can’t seem to solve:  
The galleries (there are a lot of them, that’s why I want to use AS in the first place) consist of 20 MCs that lie in another MC called “gal”. The thumbnails are loaded via script:

for (i in \_root.gal) {  
var link = “Pics/”+\_root.gallery+"/k/"+_+".jpg";  
var ziel = “\_root.gal.”+_;  
loadMovie(link, ziel);  
}

That part (I know the var strings don’t make sense without further knowledge) works perfectly fine. Of course, clicking a thumb should open the full pic and I just can’t get that part to work. I tried the following script (and ALOT of variations):

for (i in \_root.gal) {  
var link = “Pics/”+\_root.gallery+"/k/"+_+".jpg";  
var ziel = “\_root.gal.”+_;  
loadMovie(link, ziel);  
var extrakt = substring (_,2,2);  
var big = “Pics/”+\_root.gallery+"/g/"+extrakt+".jpg";  
gal_.onPress = function() {  
loadMovie(big, “\_root.full”);  
\_root.gotoAndStop(“vollbild”);  
}  
}

Unfortunately, the MCs don’t respond to the onPress-action. They only do, if I remove the first part (loading the thumbs), which of course is not an option.  
Any ideas???

Thanx alot guys,
