let me give you a description of the situation
I'm building a dynamicly created picture gallery
the gallery loads in a list of pictures, and appends it into an array, grabs
the array to create empty movie clips and then adds location information to them
What I want to do is in the loop I want to add an "onPress" event for Each
clip I creat in the loop
in psuedo code it would look something like this

Do{

createmovieclip("thumb_"+counter, ontop)
.move(a location)

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
.add(onPress) { getURL("theaccessurl") }
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

}While( x <= y);

If you understand what I'm trying to depict here
I want to add an onpress event to EACH thumbnail I create, that links to its
fullsize version.

If anyone can give me an explanation on how to do this that would be great!

In the loop you attach your clips with just add

this.onRelease = function()
{
//Stuff you want to do
}

Thanks for the help, but it didn't work. maybe there is a reason?

_root.onRelease = function()
{
getURL("http://www.3dstratum.com/twiner/"+Path+imgs_array, _blank)

this

not _root

That still didn't rememedy the problem unfortuanetly.
the entire thing is running inside a loop to generate a "grid" of photos
similar to below

do
{
MakeClip(newName)
MoveClip(newName)
loadMovie(picture, newName)
}
while
