hi everyone,  
i followed the tutorial for the ([Sliding Menu](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/slidingMenu.htm)), with success!

Now I would like to add a Forward and Back button to the menu.  
So no matter what movie clip loads, it can go back to the previous  
or on to the next one (in order).

I’ve been trying to add the function to a button on the AS but  
it doesn’t work:

```auto
bf.onRelease = function() {
	menuSlide(contentHold.currentPosition_+1);
};

```

bf is my “Button Forward”…

can anyone help with this?

thank you! C:-)

(and one more non-important thing: if i make the buttons roll over to different colors, can they “STAY rolled over” when their corresponding slide is showing?)
