Thumbnail + hammer

hi

Right I’ve taken kipura’s thumbnail tut and hit it with my brain.

ATM I have it that the thumbnails load, then the large images load, using MovieClipLoader.

however I want to load the big picture on the thumbnail button, and to check if it is already loaded.

as the MCL declares targetMC, I want to somehow stick it in a variable so when I press a thumbnail it says

 
if (variable* !=loaded){
myMCL.loadClip(image*,_root.bigpreview.picture["img"+i]
}

targetMC = _level0.bigpreview.picture.img10

the idea I had was strip targetMC, stick “loaded” into a “variable” array according to the img number.

would this work? should I have seperate MCLoaders for the thumbnails and large images?

thanks
