hi Corban,
> this[charThumb_MC].loadMovie(charThumb);
loadMovie is delayed until all scripts in the frame have finished, so
you assign the onRelease to a movieclip that will be replaced by a
newly loaded one moments later.
use a container to load it into, and assign your onRelease to the container.
btw, createEmptyMovieClip returns a reference to the new clip, very
useful if you don't want to type this[charThumb_MC] over and over
again:
var clip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(charThumb_MC, this.getNextHighestDepth());
clip._x = ...
hth,
