Messing up with some slideshow scripts

Hello guys,

I hope that you can help me with some functionality problems. I want to load external swfs into the main movie and then control them (previous | stop | next). I already had put together some code but I’m missing a way on how to know exactly which is the current movie clip loaded (index variable) in order to use it for next / previous buttons. I know it must be fairly simple but I think I lack the knowledge. :ninja:

So for now I have two SWFs for test (screen1 & screen2) and the scene is loading movie clip after movie clip non-stop. I already have the stop button but I need functionality correctly integrated for previous / next buttons. Anyone that might have a big heart and want to help me? :bu:

Cheers!!!

var clips:Array = ["screen1.swf", "screen2.swf"];
var index:int = 0;

var thisLoader:Loader = new Loader();
thisLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, doneLoading);

var thisMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
stage.addChild(thisMC);    
stage.setChildIndex(thisMC,0);

function nextClip():void {
    thisLoader.load( new URLRequest(clips[index]) );
}

function previousClip():void {
    thisLoader.load( new URLRequest(clips[index]) );
}

function doneLoading(e:Event):void {
    stage.removeChild(thisMC);
    thisMC = MovieClip(thisLoader.content);
    thisLoader.unload();
    thisMC.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, runOnce);
    stage.addChild(thisMC);
    stage.setChildIndex(thisMC,0);
    thisMC.gotoAndPlay(1);
}

function runOnce(e:Event):void {
    if (thisMC.currentFrame == thisMC.totalFrames) { 
        thisMC.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, runOnce);
        index = (index + 1)%(clips.length);
        nextClip();
    }
}


stopB.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopMotion);
function stopMotion(evt:MouseEvent):void {
thisMC.stop();
}

nextB.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playNext);
function playNext(e:MouseEvent):void {
nextClip();
}

previousB.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playPrevious);
function playPrevious(e:MouseEvent):void {
nextClip();
}

nextClip();
