Hey Guys,

First, I’d like to introduce myself. I’ve been reading Kirupa often for many Flash problems and news items for a while, so I’d like to thank you guys for providing such an awesome collection of information.

Alright, so now for my problem… I’ve been building a dynamic photogallery… and I’ve run into some onRelease problems when combined with loadMovie. I basically built a test swf with only this code, and it seems to bust. The jpg loads fine, but my onRelease does not execute (the hand cursor does not come up when I mouse over the image either).

[AS]  
this.createEmptyMovieClip(“testClip”, this.getNextHighestDepth());

testClip.loadMovie(“careers\_1sm.jpg”);

testClip.onRelease = function () {  
getURL(“[http://www.google.com](http://www.google.com/)”, “\_blank”);  
}  
[/AS]

If someone could point out where I’m going wrong, that’d be great.

Thanks!
