Slideshow, Thumbnails& MovieClips Oh My!

Question

I would like to create a thumbnail scrollbar where there is a
panel of thumbnails (SlideShow1, Slideshow2, Slideshow3, etc) which
are MovieClips populated from external jpgs. The Movie clip also
needs to be able to display a description of the thumbnail. I want
to be able to click on the thumbnail and load a movie (SlideshowMC)
into the big picture area
To put it visually:
| |
| |
| |
| SlideshowMC# |
| |
| |
|___________________|
{Scrollbar <<<<<
MC.Slideshow1[ThumbPic1 and ThumbDesc1]
MC.Slideshow2[ThumbPic2 and ThumbDesc2] MC.Slideshow3[ThumbPic3 and
ThumbDesc3] MC.Slideshow3[ThumbPic4 and ThumbDesc4]
>>>>>Scrollbar}
Any help would be appreciated

Here is the code I have in place for the thumbnails, is there
a way to truncate this?
function loadThmb() {
_level0.myMCL.loadClip("Pix/thmb0.jpg",
this.panelTop.thmb0.MC_thmbPic);
_level0.myMCL.loadClip("Pix/thmb1.jpg",
this.panelTop.thmb1.MC_thmbPic);
_level0.myMCL.loadClip("Pix/thmb2.jpg",
this.panelTop.thmb2.MC_thmbPic);
_level0.myMCL.loadClip("Pix/thmb3.jpg",
this.panelTop.thmb3.MC_thmbPic);
_level0.myMCL.loadClip("Pix/thmb4.jpg",
this.panelTop.thmb4.MC_thmbPic);
_level0.myMCL.loadClip("Pix/thmb5.jpg",
this.panelMid.thmb5.MC_thmbPic);
_level0.myMCL.loadClip("Pix/thmb6.jpg",
this.panelMid.thmb6.MC_thmbPic);
_level0.myMCL.loadClip("Pix/thmb7.jpg",
this.panelMid.thmb7.MC_thmbPic);
_level0.myMCL.loadClip("Pix/thmb8.jpg",
this.panelMid.thmb8.MC_thmbPic);
_level0.myMCL.loadClip("Pix/thmb9.jpg",
this.panelMid.thmb9.MC_thmbPic);
_level0.myMCL.loadClip("Pix/thmb10.jpg",
this.panelBot.thmb10.MC_thmbPic);
_level0.myMCL.loadClip("Pix/thmb11.jpg",
this.panelBot.thmb11.MC_thmbPic);
_level0.myMCL.loadClip("Pix/thmb12.jpg",
this.panelBot.thmb12.MC_thmbPic);
_level0.myMCL.loadClip("Pix/thmb13.jpg",
this.panelBot.thmb13.MC_thmbPic);
_level0.myMCL.loadClip("Pix/thmb14.jpg",
this.panelBot.thmb14.MC_thmbPic);
(The MCL is on a Master swf which loads all the other
movies)
