next_mc button moves the playhead to the
next frame. Add content to a series of frames on the Timeline, and add the following
ActionScript on Frame 1 of the Timeline:
stop();
prev_mc.onRelease = function() {
var parent_mc:MovieClip = this._parent;
if (parent_mc._currentframe>1) {
parent_mc.prevFrame();
} else {
parent_mc.gotoAndStop(parent_mc._totalframes);
}
};
next_mc.onRelease = function() {
var parent_mc:MovieClip = this._parent;
if (parent_mc._currentframe<parent_mc._totalframes) {
parent_mc.nextFrame();
} else {
parent_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
}
};
