}

**Now** … the problem im having is targeting the generated "thumbMov"s movieClips with FUSE.

> 

function scaleButtOver():Void{  
var f:Fuse = new Fuse();  
f.push({target:this , scale:120, Blur\_blurX:5, alpha:40, time:2, ease:“easeOutExpo”});  
f.start();  
}

function scaleButtOut():Void{  
var f:Fuse = new Fuse();  
f.push({target:this , scale:100, Blur\_blurX:0, alpha:100, time:2, ease:“easeOutExpo”});  
f.start();  
}

Above i set out my FUSE functions that i want to trigger on rollOver and rollOut of the thumbMovs

> 

thumbMov.onRollOver = thumbMov.onDragOver = function(){  
info\_txt.text = this.titles;  
scaleButtOver();

```
	}

```

thumbMov.onRollOut = thumbMov.onDragOut = function(){  
info\_txt.text = “”;  
scaleButtOut();

```
	}

```

But the problem is the thumbMov movies will obviously have a uniquely generated instance name i cant target directly due to the “for” loop…

**How** can i modify what ive done to target any of the thumbMovs with the FUSE functions?

Its a toughy to explain but hopefully someone will know what i mean??

if not let me know…

Cheers
