createEmptyMovieClip problem

Next to kglad's truth this:

at first I found it confusing too, but in the script below the pic
movieClip is actually replaced by what's loaded. And thereby anything
attached to the loading clip (including your event handler).
It is not that pic is gonna contain the loaded image as a 'sub-clip'.

you must define mouse handlers AFTER loading is complete. ie, use preload code or the onLoadInit() of the moviecliploader class.

or load into a child movieclip of pic.
