Will someone take a look at this .fla and tell me WTF is wrong with it!?!?

It’s a 200 frame movie clip with pauses every 40th frame, and all I want to do is make two buttons (the black rectangles) play it forwards and backwards between these pauses. I have created a controller mc to do this which, by my logic, should be functioning.

ps. I’ve replaced the pictures in the fla with coloured boxes, but the mc’s 1-6 simply represent photographs which fade into each other. I’d really appreciate someone helpin me with this one as I told my friend I could do this in no time at all…

Dont put the nextFrame();or prevFrame(); action on a button

use

myButton.onRelease = function(){  
}

on the main timeline instead

Thanks for your help Greggeh, but this hasn’t made any difference at all ☹

Sorry, I couldn’t understand what you are trying to do. If you could explain what you want to accomplish, may be we can look at it.
