One button to load different movies

[Powersolo]

I want to have 1 Next Button and 1 Previous Button in my movie. I want the next button to load movieB if movieA present, movieC if movieB is present and so on. The reverse should be true for the Previous Button. Can I do this with actionscript with only 2 buttons and 10 movies?

thanks,

Yes if the movies are named sequentially.Something like this....
First have .......
i=0;
...on the first frame.

//Next
on(release){
i++;
loadMovieNum("movie"+i+".swf");
}

//Prev
on(release){
i--;
loadMovieNum("movie"+i+".swf");
}

If you have other buttons that load movies you have to add the i variable to them also. For intsnce if you loaded movie3.swf with a button, the code on that button should have this added to it

i=3;

Thanks!

I'll give that a try. Just to make sure....

Do I add a frame action - "set variable", i as the varialble and 0 as the value, in the the first frame of the main movie, or movie with the button? Does that make sense?

thanks for all your help,

First frame of the movie.

If you use expert mode you can just paste the code in the actions panel.

There is something wrong with the code, I forgot to tell which level to load into so the code should be.

//Next
on(release){
i++;
loadMovieNum("movie"+i+".swf",1);
}

//Prev
on(release){
i--;
loadMovieNum("movie"+i+".swf",1);
}


That will make the external swf's load into _level1
You can also load into target movieclips ( easier to positions). But start with this.
