thmb\_btn.onPress = function() {  
myPhoto2 = new XML();  
myPhoto2.ignoreWhite = 1;

thumbLoader.loadMovie(picHolder.attributes.thmb);  
thumbHolder.onRelease = function() {  
[color=DarkOrange] this.thumbnails.thumbnail.\_alpha = 20;  
// how can i make the alpha when the thumbnail it’s clicked, because if i use [/color][color=DarkOrange]thumbnails.thumbnail1.\_alpha = 20; it works but it’s predeterminated and i need it dynamical.[/color]  
loader.\_alpha = 0;  
marco.\_alpha = 0;  
loader.loadMovie(this.images);
