Hi, I used the tutorial provide by Lee to create a video player with xml. I used the **same instance names** (videolist etc.) and have been running into trouble creating only a **skip button** (to the next video) and **back button** (to the previous video). Before I ask questions, I usually try to search first and found two ways to do it but **neither have worked for me.**

The first way:  
ffwd\_btn.onRelease=function(){  
if(videoList.selectedIndex \>= 13){  
videoList.selectedIndex = 0;  
}else{  
videoList.selectedIndex +=1;  
}  
};

The second way:  
forward.onRelease=function(){  
v = whoIsOn+1  
if (v \>= listClips.length ) {  
v = 0;  
}  
getNewVid(listClips[v]);  
};

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks guys!\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
