Currently I have a single movie clip and next/ previous buttons attached to this movie clip. The image changes every 9 frames. Currently I have the code set to change at every frame. How do I get it so it changes at every 9 frames???

started flash just month ago… so please be gentle!

play();

previous\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goBackward);  
next\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goForward);

function goForward(e:MouseEvent){  
if(currentFrame == this.totalFrames){  
gotoAndPlay(1);  
}  
else{  
nextFrame();  
}

}

function goBackward(e:MouseEvent){  
if(this.totalFrames == currentFrame){  
gotoAndPlay(this.totalFrames == 1);  
}  
else{  
prevFrame();  
}  
}
