Hi there, im trying to make a picture gallery (im a very basic flash user)

I have made my images site nicely and stuff with stop frames on each picture (in each different frame)

the idea is that the user looks at a picture and it stops on the current frame until the user hites next to continue onto the next image

my actions to try and work this are

**on (pressgotoAndStop(nextFrame();  
);  
) {  
}**

_^ not sure if thats right_

**I get these errors:**

_Scene=Scene 1, Layer=box, Frame=12: Line 1: Invalid mouse event specified.  
on (pressgotoAndStop(nextFrame();_  
_Scene=Scene 1, Layer=box, Frame=12: Line 2: Unexpected ‘)’ encountered  
);_  
\*Scene=Scene 1, Layer=box, Frame=12: Line 3: Unexpected ‘)’ encountered  
) {  
\*

\*\*Im totally baffled, so any help would be super :S

\*\*

The code is totally wrong, mate.

This should be right:

```php
 
on (release) {
	_root.nextFrame();
	/*or you can replace _root with an
	instance name of a movieclip*/
}

```

Hope that’s right 😛
