Ok i have included a next button on my first 5 frames and placed the one code for that button in another layer so it corresponds to all the next buttons.
once published i have noticed that it works fine if i have the next button on every page, however the problem occurs when i remove one next button from say frame 3 and then once i skip to frame 4 using a sidrebar button the next btuuon does not operate on that page? Its as if flash wants me to have it on every page so that it works?
