Did you add the right codes to the buttons?

```auto
on (release) {
	_root.changePhoto(-1);	
}

```

Also, did you put your buttons where your photo can cover them? That might be why you don’t see them.

If these aren’t it, can you post a .zip file with every you need?

If your file isn’t too big, you can use the Attachment feature here, it is under the reply text area, it says “Attach File:”.

If it is too big, you will need to upload it to a server and put a link to it.

Hey, I am glad you got it working. Sorry for the delay, I got distracted.

This is a common problem when you do this tutorial. You are supposed to put the registration point in the upper left hand corner of your clip when you make it a movie clip.

To do this, select your item, then hit F8 to convert it to a symbol, and you will see next to the radio buttons for what kind of symbol (mc, button, graphic) there is a block with 9 squares in it. Click on the square on the upper left hand corner. This will set the registration point there.

Since when it attaches the .jpg, it attaches the upper left hand corner of the jpeg to the registration point, you need to relocate that point.

Either that or you can just move the clip you already have.

His external pictures are all the same size.

I am not sure I understand what is going on with your buttons? You say they aren’t underneith, but they are on the stage? Well if they aren’t where you put them, then where on the stage are they?
