[sorry for the cross post, wrong forum the first time…]

This code works fine with 3 buttons. But what to do if I have more than 3 buttons, let’s say 5 of 'em?

// code begins

\_root.picnumber=0;

this.btn1.onRelease = function () {  
if (\_root.picnumber == 2) {  
pic2.gotoAndPlay (12);  
} else if (\_root.picnumber == 3) {  
pic3.gotoAndPlay (12);  
}  
\_root.picnumber = 1;  
pic1.gotoAndPlay (2);  
}

this.btn2.onRelease = function () {  
if (\_root.picnumber == 1) {  
pic1.gotoAndPlay (12);  
} else if (\_root.picnumber == 3) {  
pic3.gotoAndPlay (12);  
}  
\_root.picnumber = 2;  
pic2.gotoAndPlay (2);  
}

this.btn3.onRelease = function () {  
if (\_root.picnumber == 2) {  
pic2.gotoAndPlay (12);  
} else if (\_root.picnumber == 1) {  
pic1.gotoAndPlay (12);  
}  
\_root.picnumber = 3;  
pic3.gotoAndPlay (2);  
}
