making a loadmovie/jpg "clickable"

[jbruton]

Greetings all, and thanks in advance for any and all help.

This is all working ---
I'm trying to build a dynamic, reuseable image gallery.

I'm using a 'for' loop to go through the list of image names.

I've got an empty movie clip (called empty_mc).

I'm using attachmovie to grab a copy of empty_mc and then load each image into it's own movie clip.

This is my problem ---
I need each image clip to be "clickable" with a mouse so
that I can show (whatever image name/number I click on)
in a larger movie clip (big_mc).

I can't figure out how to make the jpg or it's holder movie
clickable!

I sure hope this is an easy solution, and if at all possible, code samples would be greatly appreciated... i'm fried.

post your code

will just be something in your for loop like

holder_mc.onRelease=function(){
//do something
}

oh yeah, actions sometime seem to get erased when you load a movie into an mc. You might want to create a holder mc inside each empty mc and load the jpg into the holder

then assign the action to the empty mc and you should be right
