I’m making a simple slideshow, with both back and forward buttons as well as numbered slide buttons for navigation.

For the back and forward buttons I am using the following code:

```auto

var frameNext:Number = 0;
frameNext = _root._currentframe + 1;

var frameBack:Number = 0;
frameBack = _root._currentframe - 1;

////////////////

this.back_btn.onRelease = function() {
	gotoAndStop(frameNext);
}
//
this.next_btn.onRelease = function() {
	gotoAndStop(frameBack);
}

```

But for some reason this doesn’t want to work. Is it my AS at fault? or is it something in the .fla?

I would be grateful of any advice you can offer.
