I have 50 thumbnails all named (thumb1, thumb2, etc.)  
I would like each of them to trace what number thumb they are when pressed.  
Am I totally off in my thinking that the code below should have worked?  
Any help is greatly appreciated- Thanks!

for (var i = 0; i \< 50; i++) {  
var thisThumb = this[“thumb” + i];  
thisThumb.onRelease = function () {  
trace(thisThumb);  
};  
}
