Hi

I have 3 layers in my scene.  
Layer 1 contains several keyframes and each keyframe contains text.  
Layer 2 contains 1 keyframe and navigation buttons.  
Layer 3 contains 1 keyframe and background.

My navigation button has simple code.  
on (press)  
{  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(x+1);  
}  
where x should be layer 1’s current frame.

My problem is that I don’t know how to get layer 1’s current frame number to variable x.

Could someone help me with this?
