Get the name/number from an Array?

Ok, I believe this isn’t coded according to AS 3.0 “rules” but I’m just starting to learn this stuff so please have patience…

But, how can I in my moveForward function get the name/number of the current displaying image and let the user move forward without pulling down the thumbs? (Note that the Arrays are shortened in post for saving space)

Here’s the code;


import caurina.transitions.Tweener;

var thumbs:Array = ["thumbs/01.jpg", "thumbs/02.jpg", "thumbs/03.jpg", "thumbs/04.jpg", "thumbs/05.jpg", "thumbs/06.jpg", "thumbs/07.jpg", "thumbs/08.jpg", "thumbs/09.jpg", "thumbs/10.jpg"];

var images:Array = ["large/00.jpg", "large/01.jpg", "large/02.jpg", "large/03.jpg", "large/04.jpg", "large/05.jpg", "large/06.jpg", "large/07.jpg", "large/08.jpg", "large/09.jpg", "large/10.jpg"];

var thumbText:Array = ["text 1", "text 2", "text 3", "text 4", "text 5", "text 6", "text 7", "text 8", "text 9", "text 10""];
