Well your code seems to be AS2, it won't work on AS3.. Are you using AS3 or AS2?

i think i am using as3
totally new with these stuff..so might be confused with as2 and as3 , sorry

Try this AS3 code...



next_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goNext);
previous_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPrev);

function goNext(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(currentFrame + 1);
}
function goPrev(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(currentFrame - 1);
}

thanks ,
the code shows no errors now ,
however, the buttons doesn't work while i test the movie
it won't go to the next page or the pervious page while i click on it
actually , how should i apply the codes? maybe my method was wrong , i am not sure
i add a new layer called ''button'' and select frame1 and apply the code in action script.
is this right or it is wrong?

many many thanks

Paste the code in a frame where the buttons exist.

Also make sure you have buttons with the instance names "next_button" and "previous_button".
