**Hello Everyone-**  
Here’s my issue: I have a movie clip on my stage that acts like a presentation. I have a button below it that I want to control which ‘slide’ of the presentation the user sees. Right now when the user clicks the button it takes them to the next slide in the movie clip. I don’t know where to start to have it move on to slide 3 and so forth. So basically everytime the button is clicked it shows the next slide. The movie clip has the appropriate stops and I know which frames I need to activate…I just need help figuring out the Actionscript. [COLOR=blue]Do I need to setup a counter?[/COLOR] [COLOR=crimson]If so, how do I do that?[/COLOR]

**Thanks for any help!**
