Guys,
I need help!

I have a movie clip which contains 5 frame labels : one,two,three,four,five
And I have next and prev button to move around

This is my code


var index:int = 0;

instruction_mc.next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onNext);

function onNext(e:Event):void {    
    index ++;    
    instruction_mc.gotoAndPlay(instruction_mc.currentLabels[index]);    
    if(instruction_mc.currentLabel =="five"){        
        instruction_mc.next_btn.visible = false;
    }

}

Now the problem is,its only play the frame label "one" even though I press next button, it will stays on frame label "one"

but there's no error occured.

I'm confused.

At first I though to put them in an array

but its not working as well :'(

there's one note to be taken, I am required to put all my codes on my main timeline

I can put stop(); inside my other movie clip,but only that actionscript is allowed    *sigh

Correct answer Ned Murphy

Based on the code you show, you do need to have the labels in an array.  According to your code that array is defined inside a movieclip named instruction_mc, and the name of the array is currentLabels.  So inside instruction_mc you should have an array defined...

var currentLabels:Array = new Array("one","two","three","four","five");

Since you say all your code muyst go on the main timeline, it does not make sense that you have code inside instruction_mc.  Maybe your code should be....

stop();

var index:int = 0;

var currentLabels:Array = new Array("one","two","three","four","five");

instruction_mc.next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onNext);

function onNext(e:Event):void {    
    index ++;    
    instruction_mc.gotoAndPlay(currentLabels[index]);    
    if(currentLabels[index] =="five"){        
        instruction_mc.next_btn.visible = false;
    }

}

You're welcome.  We all go thru those long battles, sometimes winning, sometimes losing, but learning something none-the-less.
