I have a loop to create clip buttons w/jpg images on face && load same jpgs into main viewer clip. Problem is, the mc buttons won’t respond to onRelease…Any help appreciated!

for(i=1;i\<3;++i)  
{  
var mc = “mc”+i; // button mc clip names  
var images:Array = new Array(["…/images/"+i+".jpg"]); [//1.jpg](https://1.jpg), 2.jpg - 72px square

//-- create base mc & then another mc -----------------  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“base”,i);  
\_root[base].createEmptyMovieClip(mc,i+4);

//-- set mc location  
\_root[base][mc].\_x = 100;  
\_root[base][mc].\_y = i\*80;

//-- load button jpg images -----  
\_root[base][mc].loadMovie(images);

///////////////////////// works up to this point ////////////////////////  
/////// displays 2 images, but can’t make into buttons…////////////////

// – make mc into buttons and load jpgs into main\_mc holder -------  
\_root[base][mc].onRelease = function()  
{  
\_root.main\_mc.loadMovie(images);  
};  
}
