I am dynamically creating movies, and I want a specific load function and mouseUp function to be applied to each instance,  
my code however, doesn’t work so far - the trace never shows up  
any ideas?

createEmptyMovieClip(“side”,9);  
loadMovie(“image.jpg”,\_root[“side”]);

\_root[“side”].onLoad = function(){  
trace(“hi”);  
}
