Image in Array to background of mc

Question

So.  Managed to get past my last issue and now when the xml file of images is loaded, I place each image into an element of an Array so I can handle them individually.  Problem I am having now is this.  When image at element 1 is pressed, it should become one of my movie clips background.  I am using some code I was using in as3, when the image wasnt in an Array, and it worked fine.  Now I am in AS2, and the image is in an Array, it doesnt seem to work.  Additionally, I get no errors whatsoever.  The code for this is
picHolder[1].onPress = function() {
          picHolder[1].width = card.width;
          picHolder[1].height = card.height;
          picHolder[1].x = 0;
          picHolder[1].y = 0;
          card.addChild(picHolder[1]);
Whereby picHolder[1] is an image, and card is my movie clip.  If I do picHolder[1].startDrag(true), I can pick up and drag the image.  So, I know I am dealing with the correct image here.  Should I be doing the above differently when working with an Array?
Cheers

Answer 1

Ok, what I am doing now is in AS2.  So, I know that
function thumbClickable():Void {
     picHolder[1].onPress = function() {
Is AS2, so what I have done inside of it must be AS3.  So, what would the inside look like in AS2?  I cant really see how this could be much different.
