Hi SJM, It looks like you're setting the persistent var, _mcName, to equal each _summaryElement[i].sumImg in turn as the loop progresses. That means that when the loop is finished, the value for _mcName will be a reference to _summaryElement[4].sumImg, the last clip being loaded. Since your loop undoubtedly runs faster than the loading process, what your imgLoadComplete handler is actually doing is this, _summaryElement[4].sumImg.addChild(ev.target.content). It wouldn't be surprising if you looked at the contents of _summaryElement[4].sumImg and found that all the images are added to its display list as each load completes. I would either get rid of the persistent var and find a way to use an ID number to link the loaded images and the containers, OR add this line to your loadImage method, _mcName.addChild(imageLoader);, and forget the event listener (at least for doing the addChild).
