Making a background selection?

[kokonut10]

I am trying to make a game where you can choose from eight different backgrounds, but I don't know how to make it work. I've got two buttons for next and back, and the backgrounds, but I'm not sure how to get it all to work. Can someone give me some help?

Put them on separate frames inside a movieclip. Put the movieclip on stage and give it the instance name 'BG'. On the forward button, use
on(press){BG.nextFrame();}
on the back button:
on(press){BG.prevFrame();}

It didn't work...I gave the backgrounds the instance name and made the buttons with the AS on them, and nothing happened when they were clicked. :(

are you sure? IMO that is the right script. Make sure that your background MC has a stop() command on every frame, and that your caps is right on the instance name
