buttons not able to control a movieclip's timeline
i have 2 buttons (prev and next) that should control the timeline of a moviclip called "container"
but it just doesn't work. at first it moves to the second frame on this movieclip then the container shows always the same content ( it has different content for each frame), the content of the second frame.
though , the output panel shows:
prev. cf: 2
next. cf: 1
Code:
function btnContainerClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
if (e.target.name == "btn_prev")
trace ("prev. cf: " + container.currentFrame);
// container.gotoAndStop(container.currentFrame - 1);
container.prevFrame();
// container.gotoAndStop(2);
if (e.target.name == "btn_next")
trace ("next. cf: " + container.currentFrame);
// container.gotoAndStop(container.currentFrame + 1);
container.nextFrame();
// container.gotoAndStop(5);
}
i get absolutely no clue of what's going on and i'm getting insane.
i really appreciate any help. thanks a lot.
