OnPress doesn't work on image...

Question

Hi there,
I am having a problem when trying to add an onPress handler
to a JPG which is loaded into a movieclip.
onPress doesn't work.
ActionScript Code:
for (i=0; i<ecards.length; i++) {
var mc:MovieClip = attachMovie("recipient", "recipient"+i,
i);
mc.loadMovie("images/button.jpg");
mc.onPress = function(){
trace(this._name);
"recipient" is a 100x75 rectangle (same size as JPG).
if I comment the line "mc.loadMovie("images/button.jpg");" it
displays only the original mc and traces the name property, but
when I load the image into it, it doesn't trace it anymore.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I got a solution from Ali Inhan at Actionscript.org:
for (i = 0; i < ecards.length; i++) {
var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var listener:Object = new Object();
mcl.addListener(listener);
listener.onLoadInit = function(m:MovieClip) {
m.onPress = function() {
trace(this._name);
var mc:MovieClip = attachMovie("recipient", "recipient" + i,
i); mcl.loadClip("images/button.jpg", mc);
}
