hey,

i know this is really wrong;

ActionScript:
for(var x=0;x<=6; x++){
        _root.illNav["ill"+ x].gotoAndStop(_root.images.x+1);
};

What you want is for each thumbnail to remember what frame it corresponds to. You can do this using several ways. One is that when the user clicks on a thumbnail it checks the number inside its own name and determines the frame based on that. Another, which I prefer, is to store this number as a property inside each thumbnail and use that. Like so:

ActionScript:
for(var x=0;x<=6; x++){
        // get referent to thumbnail clip
        var thumb = _root.illNav["ill"+x];
        // store x inside thumb
        thumb.myX = x;
        // set onRelease
        thumb.onRelease = function () {
                _root.images.gotoAndStop(this.myX+1);
        }
};

I tried to rework this code to do something else, maybe someone can help me.

Im using it to for my nav buttons (b0, b1, b2 etc) to load swfs with similar names (0.swf, 1.swf etc)

im using this code, but its not working

ActionScript:
for(var x=0;x<=10; x++){
        
        var nav = ["b"+x];
        
        nav.myX = x;
        
        nav.onRelease = function () {
                _root.gotoAndPlay(35);
                _level0.myMCL.loadClip(this.myX, 20);
        }
};

Replace

ActionScript:
var nav = ["b"+x];

ActionScript:
var nav = this["b"+x]; // replace 'this' with the appropriate path if it isn't 'this'

trying to apply above examples. got 24 thumbs, all of which should transform on rollover in the same way. they are thumb1, thumb2, etc

for(var x=0;x<=24; x++){

var whichThumb = this["thumb"+x];

whichThumb.onRollOver = function(){
whichThumb.brightnessTo(0,.3,"easeoutsine");}
};

shouldnt this work? what the missing link? thanks

Inside the 'onRollOver', when it gets called, 'this' refers to itself. Right now it refers to 'whichThumb', which at the end of the loop refers to the last MC, this.thumb24. So this change should work:

ActionScript:
// change
whichThumb.brightnessTo(0,.3,"easeoutsine");
// to
this.brightnessTo(0,.3,"easeoutsine");

or not
what is wroong with me?

i think i've successfully duplicated my clips, but the _x position thing...

for(var x=1;x<=24; x++){
newThumbname = "thumb" + x
duplicateMovieClip (thumb1, newThumbname, x);
newThumbname._x = x*59;
};

'newThumbname' is a string, not a reference to the duplicated MovieClip. Also using MovieClip.duplicateMovieClip instead of duplicateMovieClip has the advantage that it returns such a reference.
So combining this:

ActionScript:
for(var x=1;x<=24; x++){
        newThumbname = "thumb" + x;
        var mc = thumb1.duplicateMovieClip (newThumbname, x);
        mc._x = x*59;
}
