just looking to alter script to have forward and backwards buttons.
any tutorials or anything much appriciated

Okay, so you make the forward and back buttons.

Then you make the slideshow, put the slide show into one big movieclip, and give that movieclip an instance name. Then use the following code to activate the buttons.

Code: Select all

on (release) {
    _root.billy.nextFrame();
}

Code: Select all

on (release) {
    _root.billy.prevFrame();
}

i'm a bit of a noob when it comes to flash. could you possible explain a bit more?

[JacobHaug]

hahaha...sure. Okay so your goal is to make a slideshow of pictures...correct? If this is true I will write a tutorial with screen shots and some detail for this.

But he wants custom navigation? That's what I'm getting.
Create a button! Mess around with it. OR create a movieclip button. Those are fun.

[MrMadison]

Wicked sweet.

Just for information, Flash 8 Professional comes with a built-in Photo gallery template which is very functional and can be used as-is (which I don't suggest) or to customize quickly.

[JacobHaug]

Yeah, but nothing like the one that he ended up using. Show us a link...we want to see!!
