Building Multiple Slides/Frames - Need Help!

[admin10]

Hello, I only recently started learning AS3 and have been unable to accomplish what I would consider to be one of the most simplest tasks, creating multiple frames/slides. As a matter of fact I have been unable to find the existence of what I would consider to be such a basic function!

I would like to set up multiple pages,with a 'go to next page button'. For example:

Slide/Frame 1
Go to next slide Button

Now, when the user clicks the go to next slide button I would like the following to appear....

Slide/Frame2
Go to previous slide Button

Noting that I don't want any of the First Frame/Slide scripts or objects to be present or active on the second Frame/Slide.

Thanks for the help.

on your first frame place a next button and a previous button (eg, next_btn and prev_btn).  extend the layer that contains both across the timeline that you want to act like a slideshow.

create an actions layer and add the following script:

stop();

next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,nextF);

prev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,prevF);

buttonVisF();

function nextF(e:MouseEvent):void{

nextFrame();

}

function prevF(e:MouseEvent):void{

prevFrame();

}

function buttonVisF():void{

next_btn.visible=prev_btn.visible=false;

if(this.currentFrame>1){

prev_btn.visible=true;

}

if(this.currentFrame<this.totalFrames){

next_btn.visible=true;

}

}
