O.K, being a little new to this, I have hit a brick wall, I'm using AS3 in Flash CS5. All I want to do is have a tweened animation which stops at a frame and which has a clickable button to access another part of the maintime line. Also there will be a button on the animation to skip it. How does one set this up? Obviously you need a stop(); at the stop frame of the time line and an event listener and function for both buttons right? Any more help besides that. I have it set up like this;

totalSlides:Number = 60;
currentSlideNumber:Number = 1;

skipbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,skipbuttonPress);

function skipbuttonPress(evt:MouseEvent):void{
    currentframelabel = currentframelabel+1;
    if(currentSlideNumber>=0){
        currentframelabel = introstop;
    }
    framelabel.gotoAndStop(introstop);
}

and the frame it stops on is set up as follows

stop();

totalSlides:Number = 60;
currentSlideNumber:Number = 5;

click01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,click01Press);

function click01Press( evt : MouseEvent ) : void {
    currentSlideNumber = currentSlideNumber+1;
    if (currentSlideNumber >= 0) {
        currentSlideNumber = 25;
    }
    framelabel.gotoAndStop(mainpage);
}

As I need this for a project, any help would be greatly valued.

Many Thanks
