this is my first post on the forum. I’d have to say I have learned a ton from searching around and have been able to fix all my probs except for this one.

I have a photos page, which is a movie that is loaded into the main movie on my website. On the photos page, I have thumbnails which load movies with pictures into the empty movie clip instance name=“holder”. Here is my script.

on(release){  
loadMovie(“somefile.swf”,"\_root.holder")  
}

When I preview the movie, all the thumbs work and everything is cool. But when I run my main page, and call the photo page within it, none of the on(release)'s work anymore.

I can’t seem to find out why. I’m sure this may be something fairly easy, but I can’t figure it out. the page is located at [www.secondsonmusic.com/test.htm](http://www.secondsonmusic.com/test.htm) in case anyone is confused as to what I am doing.

Thanks to all who add some input.
