Hey everyone.

I’m trying very hard to get this code to load images external, with a next & prev btn.  
I have a grid of photos set up and each photo is a btn that loads the larger photo in my container\_mc.

Now i want a next button to load the next photo from which ever photo its on.

Ive tried this code but its not working.

Please if anyone has any ideas, i would really be love it!!

thanks

Kym

var NumberOfImages = 4;

var LocationToImages = “Portfolio/”;

var FileType = “.jpg”;

var myArray = new Array();

myArray[0] = “futbol1.jpg”;  
myArray[1] = “futbol2.jpg”;  
myArray[2] = “futbol3.jpg”;  
myArray[3] = “futbol4.jpg”;

var i:Number = 0;  
next.onPress=function(){

i++;  
container\_mc.loadMovie(myArray\*;  
if(i\>=myArray.length-1);  
{  
trace(“no more images!”);  
i = myArray.length-1;  
}  
}  
//  
prev.onPress=function()  
{  
i–;

container\_mc.loadMovie(myArray\*;  
if(i\<=0)  
{  
trace(“no more images!”);  
i = 0;  
}  
}
