button problem

[jazz88]

I have several keyfarmes. Each of the keyframes contain a movie clip. They are controlled by prev and next buttons. Code on the next buttons is:

on (release, releaseOutside){
if (this._currentframe == 1) {
gotoAndStop (this._totalframes);
} else {
prevFrame ();
}
}
and for the prev button:

on (release, releaseOutside) {
if (this._currentframe == 1) {
gotoAndStop(this._totalframes);
} else {
prevFrame();
}
}

The next button works fine but prev button works only on the third click. Any idea why ?
Thanks.

Looks to me two scripts are identical – are they supposed to be?

I figured out myself where the problem was. But thanks for response, I appreciate it.

There are choices when using buttons and frames. When adding actions to buttons there is a dropdown box on the second line on the right side of the actions panel. There you will find choices like: go to next frame, go to previous frame, ect...just select either and the code is written for you. You can publis your file and open it with notepad and see the code actionscript wrote for you.
