FLASH: Action script help for a Remote Control?

[Tim Doherty]

I'm new to the list and fairly new to using Actions.  I'm hoping someone 

can give me some help. I'm an artist, not a programmer, so construction 

scripts with actions is kind of cryptic to me.  Anyway, I need some help 

setting up the following:  My site has a gadget that acts like a remote 

control. It has three buttons on it: A "Back" button, an "Enter" button, 

and a "Forward" button.  It also has a text box displaying the channel's 

number.  Each time the forward button is pressed, the channel name changes 

and a new image is displayed in a window on the site.  So... I'm trying to 

figure out how to code this. The Forward button will advance through the 

channels and their respective images (there are currently 17 of them, but 

more will be added) until looping back to where it started.  The Back 

button goes in reverse.  Clicking on the Enter button at any time jumps to 

a page that corresponds to the image and channel number being 

displayed.  Am I explaining that clearly?  Can anyone tell me how to do 

this? Thanks!!!
