I am trying to use this tutorial, [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/loading.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/loading.htm)

however I’d like the buttons to be inside another movie clip. For some reason, I am getting this error msg

Symbol=Symbol 4, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 1: Statement must appear within on handler  
but.onPress = function () {

Im kind of a newbie to flash, anyone k now what this means and/or how to fix it? I am trying to create a vertical scrolling thumbnail gallery with dynamically loaded swf’s. HELP!
