Hi im new here, the thing is im a noob in Flash too lol so i saw a tutorial on how to use loaders to load external jpg, that i can do but well i tried to modify the cose to put a next button and a back button so here is my code:

var n:Number = 0;  
var i:Number = n+1;  
var k:Number = n+2;  
var j:Number = n+3;

comp1\_btn.contentPath = “thumb”+i+".jpg";  
comp2\_btn.contentPath = “thumb”+k+".jpg";  
comp3\_btn.contentPath = “thumb”+j+".jpg";

function portfolioLoader (image) {  
main\_mc.contentPath = image;  
}

comp1\_btn.onRelease = function (){  
portfolioLoader(“image”+i+".jpg");  
}  
comp2\_btn.onRelease = function (){  
portfolioLoader(“image”+j+".jpg");  
}  
comp3\_btn.onRelease = function (){  
portfolioLoader(“image”+k+".jpg");  
}

btnNext.onRelease =function() {  
n = n+3;  
};

btnBack.onRelease =function() {  
if (n\>=4) {  
i = i - 3;  
j = j - 3;  
k = k - 3;  
};  
if (n \<= 3) {  
i = 1;  
j = 2;  
k = 3;  
};

};
