I have a movie, in which there are buttons labelled “previous frame” and “next frame”. The code for “previous frame”:

\*\*on(release) {  
gotoAndPlay(\_currentFrame-1)  
}

\*\*The code for “next frame” is the same, except changing the minus sign to a plus sign. However, only “next frame” works. Anyone can help?
