I am generating movie clips and loading movie clips into them dynamically with the movieClipLoader class when jpegs are loading into each movie (onLoadComplete) I assign a handler to them:

myListener.onLoadComplete = function(targetMC){ //set the onComplete function on listener  
targetMC.onPress = function() { //define onPress within function  
trace(newline + "targetMC = " + targetMC.\_name);  
}  
}

for some reason when i paste this code into a clean one frame flash file with nothing else in it the handlers work.

But in my movie the dynamic movieClips get loading into another movieClip which has a onMouseOver handler as well might this be the reason why the dynamically generated handlers are not working?
