Hey all,

This is likely a pretty basic question but I’m not making the leap yet…

I have a mc that is currently holding simple Previous/Next buttons. I would like to use this mc on multiple scenes to progress the animation to prev/next scenes based on user selection.

I haven’t figured out how to get the mc to know what the current page is and then either go prev/next based on user input.

Since the prev./next buttons are embedded in the mc and the mc is within the scene I’m not getting how I can call specific pages/scenes to come up based on what the current page is.

I could use the actual buttons on each page but think there’s a more fluid way to do this using a mc on each page.

Any example code would be a huge help to visualizing what the next step is.

As always, any and all help is greatly appreciated!!
