loadMovie and clickable thumbnails q

I’m writing an image browser, and I want for it to load thumbnails (whose paths are stored in an array) into a pre-existing clip, and then have that be clickable. However, I can’t get it to work.

This is my constructing for loop.

newClip = this.attachMovie("btn_mc","btn"+i+"_mc",this.getNextHighestDepth());
newClip.loadMovie(thumbs*);

It will load the thumbnails but they aren’t clickable. If I take out

newClip.loadMovie(thumbs*);

it loads the default background of my btn_mc instance and it works properly. Is there a way to have both of these things happen? Any help is greatly appreciated!
