If you’re using Flash MX, place this on your main timeline:  
[AS]  
x=0; //I suppose there is an image0.jpg  
next.onRelease = function(){  
x++  
l = “image”+x+".jpg";  
holder.loadMovie(l)  
}  
previous.onRelease = function(){  
x–  
l = “image”+x+".jpg";  
holder.loadMovie(l)  
}  
[/AS]

No problem 😉 That code will keep increasing and decreasing. If you want it to load the first one again after the last one, I need to know the filename of the last and the first image.
