For the life of me, I cannot get any rollovers to work with the images that have been loaded from XML. I can target them and set the \_alpha and whatnot, but rollover/out/press functions don’t seem to work :[  
I’ve tried many different ways… does anyone see what’s wrong?

```auto

function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
title = [];
type1 = [];
type2 = [];
type3 = [];
ypos = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
//////////
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
ypos* = (135 * i) + 225;
title* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
image* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
type1* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[2].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
type2* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[3].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
type3* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[4].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
//////////
///create thumbs
var thumb_mc:MovieClip = _root.main.createEmptyMovieClip("thumb"+ (1 + i), _root.main.getNextHighestDepth());
thumb_mc._x = 0;
thumb_mc._y = ypos*;
loadMovie (image * , thumb_mc);

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

thumb_mc.onRollOver = function () { 
trace("YUP-over"); //should work 
} 
thumb_mc.onRollOut = function () { 
trace("YUP-out"); //should work 
}

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

}

} else {
content = "file not loaded!";
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("data.xml");
///////////////////////////////////// 

```

THANK YOU for your help.
