Hi,

I posted this question a couple days ago and got no reply. I’m hoping someone can give a clue on how to set up this code. I’m sure its easy, but I’m just not that great with actionscript.

I have a website with a horizontal sliding gallery. There are buttons (numbers at the bottom) that when clicked slide a very long mc with thumbs on it to a specific xtarget position. That all works fine and dandy, but I want to get rid of the number buttons and put previous / next buttons instead. The thing that stumps me is this. Regular previous / next buttons would be coded to go to the next frame. I want to go to the next xtarget position instead. :joker: I’m using CS3 / AS2.

The link is: [http://www.brianlabriedesigns.com](http://www.brianlabriedesigns.com). Click the illustration button and you’ll see what I’m talking about. my button code is below.

Thank you very much for your help.
