So I have an xml Slideshow. I have customized the next and previous buttons with animations. They are movieclips and when I gave them instance names that are in the action script the clicking on the movieclips works fine and goes to the next image but the animation doesn’t play. I don’t want to switch to a button. The script is on line 30 of the action frame.  
could someone send me back the file with the clips working or just tell me how. I will let u test with them. The next button works with no animation the previous button has animation with no button.
