why is this script not working?

[bazmanblue]

Im trying to use this code with buttons to do a slide show in flash. I have copied it exactly the same from a tutoring dvd but comes up with the following error when clicking the previouse slide button

Error opening URL "file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/barry%20%20walker/My%20Documents/myportfolio/frames/framesNaN.jpg"

and when clicking the next slide button it shows the same clip.

here is the script i am trying to use

var slideInfoLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
slideInfoLV.load("vars/slide_info.txt");


var curFrameNum:Number = 0;

function loadFrame() {
_level0.myMCL.loadClip("frames/frames" + curFrameNum + ".jpg", this.framesMC);
}
loadFrame();

//--------------<nextslidebutton>-------------//
this.nextSlideBtn.onRelease = function() {
if(curFrameNum < Number(slideInfoLV.totalFrames) -1) {
curFrameNum++;
} else {
curFrameNum = 0;
}
loadFrame();
}

//--------------</nextslidebutton>-------------//

//--------------<prevslidebutton>-------------//
this.prevSlideBtn.onRelease = function() {
if(curFrameNum == 0) {
curFrameNum = Number(slideInfoLV.totalFrames) - 1
} else {
curFrameNum --;
}
loadFrame();
}

//--------------</prevslidebutton>-------------//



i would be helpful for any help
thanks

it looks like your out of bounds some where, place this in for debugging

//--------------<prevslidebutton>-------------//
this.prevSlideBtn.onRelease = function() {
trace(curFrameNum); /*THIS NEW LINE*/
if(curFrameNum == 0) {
curFrameNum = Number(slideInfoLV.totalFrames) - 1
} else {
curFrameNum --;
}
loadFrame();
}


I think whats going on is you start on frame 1 hit previous and get frame 0 which doesnt exist.

what do you get for the trace?

Or do you in fact a frames0.jpg in that folder?

If not, try setting the variable to 1...

var curFrameNum:Number = 1;
