An easy way to do it if you don’t know actionscript would be to put the text content that you want in different frames of a movieclip, with a stop(); action in each Frame. Each “section” or paragraph goes in a new Frame and then the buttons tell the movie clip to go to each frame. (Don’t forget to give the MC an instance name e.g. “t_holder”).
The code for a button would be like this - say you want to go to frame “3”:
on(press){
if(t_holder._currentframe!=3){ //note:"!="means “not equal to”
t_holder.gotoAndPlay(3);
}
}
It checks to see if the movieclip is already in that frame, and if it is, it doesn’t go there - otherwise flash freaks out and goes somewhere stupid instead.
Hope this helps!
