I have a basic thumbnail loading a movie clip container to hold jpegs. I have both vertical and horiz jpgs that need to be shown.

I have named the instances “containerv” and “containerh” (I need the registration points in different locations so they will be centered in the container) on the same frame- I have successfully acomplished this however, when testing I click on the vertical thumb and of course it (the full image) shows up, and when I click on the horiz. thumb it shows too but its on top of the other image. When I choose another vertical image - it shows behind the horiz. ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/991/1d2d086f2c1e92ee.gif) IF all the images are vert, they will go to the next one no problem. I have even tried 2 layers, and different frames for the container.

I am using these to call the instances:

on(release){  
containerv.loadMovie("…/gallery/weddings/01.jpg");  
}

and

on(release){  
containerh.loadMovie("…/gallery/weddings/07.jpg");  
}

I have 44+ thumbs, so I would like to resolve this before moving on!

Surely this is something simple.

Also, Most of my flash experience has been basic animation (intros, banners etc. ) so I have really never used another scene or had to call another mc.

I will eventually need to add a button to call the next page of thumbs. Do I create another “swf page” just like the one I have or another scene? And how do I call it? I tried a dummy - scene2 and used a button

on(release){  
bg.loadMovie(“scene2”);  
}

(bg is the background image of the movies first scene). I didnt know what else to do here.

Thanks in advance!
