Hi there. I have a question that probably has a very simple answer to the ones in the know, but I’ just a beginner so tricky for me. Sorry if question is ridiculous…
I have made a xml image photo gallery from the tutorial here, with a “previous” and “next” button and it’s working well.
Now, I want the movie to go to the next frame in the timeline when I click on the “next” button and the previous frame when clicking “previous”
I tried to insert prevFrame() and nextFrame() in the functions nextImage() and prevImage(), but this does not work.
Could some please tell me if I can use these prevFrame()… functions (if, so where do I place them?) or if I’m on the wrong track?? Thanks.
