Right been looking at this all day, been here there and everywhere and I know someone is going to go “Look at this tutorial” and I’ll be wondering why I didnt see it but…

Using a group of MCs to load images into and also as a button.  
If the image isn’t loaded into the MC the button script works fine but when I load a image into the MC it no longer functions as a button.

I’m at the extent now of putting invisible buttons above the MCs but surely there must be a easier solution, doing that seems so sloppy 🙂

I think that explains it without any code but I’ll put some anyway

```auto

    var g = current; //How many pages they have seen
    var i = 0; //variable for loop
    while (i < 8) {
        if (thumb[g] != null) {
            temp = "cap"+i;
            this[temp].text = caption[g];
            loadMovie(thumb[g], "thumb"+i+"_mc"); 
        } else {
            temp = "cap"+i;
            this[temp].text = "";
            temp = "thumb"+i+"_mc";
            this[temp].unloadMovie();
        }
     }

```

Also is there a way of doing that without “temp”? I’m pretty new to AS still 🙂

```auto

thumb0_mc.onRelease = function () {
    loadMovie(img[0], fullSize_mc);
}

```
