nextFrame problem

programming flash

Hi, I have a movieclip called mySampleMC wich I woluld like to control with a next and a prev button outside the clip (Scene 1). I don´t get any errors in the output, but for some reason it doesn’t work.

Hopefully someone can help me with this, it’s driving me crazy…

“meny” is a movieclip in wich the button “next_kn” is.
The code:

meny.next_kn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextMouseClickHandler);

function nextMouseClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void

    {
    if (mySampleMC.currentFrame == totalFrames) {
        mySampleMC.gotoAndStop(1);
    }
	else {
       mySampleMC.nextFrame();
    }
}
