could someone help me, I am trying to get the **menu\_mc.info\_txt.text = this.venue;**  
to work outside of the onrollover function i.e. to always be there, i’m a bit baffled!

also am i doing the right thing, trying to create another MC test\_dj to eventually put this into?

```auto

function GeneratePortfolio(portfolio_xml){
 var portfolioPictures = portfolio_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
 for (var i = 0; i < portfolioPictures.length; i++){
  var currentPicture = portfolioPictures*;
  
  var currentThumb_mc = menu_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail_mc"+i,i);
  currentThumb_mc._y = i * thumb_spacing;
  //trace(currentThumb_mc)
  var currentThumb_mc = menu_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("test_dj"+i,i);
  currentThumb_mc._y = i * thumb_spacing;
  //trace(currentThumb_mc)
  currentThumb_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("thumb_container",0);
  currentThumb_mc.thumb_container.loadMovie(currentPicture.attributes.thumb);
  currentThumb_mc.title = currentPicture.attributes.title;
  currentThumb_mc.venue = currentPicture.attributes.title2;
  currentThumb_mc.image = currentPicture.attributes.image;
  currentThumb_mc.description = currentPicture.attributes.description;
**//currentThumb_mc.menu_mc.info_txt.text = this.venue;**

 

** currentThumb_mc.onRollOver = currentThumb_mc.onDragOver = function(){
   menu_mc.info_txt.text = this.venue;
  }**
  currentThumb_mc.onRollOut = currentThumb_mc.onDragOut = function(){
   info_txt.text = "";
  }

```
