I am trying to make a JPG that is loaded into a movie clip (that is created with createEmptyMovieClip) clickable.

Here is the script I am working with.

[AS]\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container\_mc”, 1);  
container\_mc.\_x = 25;  
container\_mc.\_y = 25;  
container\_mc.loadMovie(“image.jpg”);  
container\_mc.onRelease = function() {  
trace(“Hello World”);  
};  
[/AS]

It does not trace anything or change to a finger cursor.

I appreciate any enlightenment regarding my process.

Thanks!
