Buttons not functioning properly

Question

Hi, i have 41 slides in my presentation. At the start there
is a Next button. The slide pauses after 12 seconds to allow the
user to click on it. It then goes to the next screen. However if
you use the Back button on the controls below to go back to that
screen and click on the Next button again......it no longer works.
Infact the fwd button on the controls dont work either. I pressed
it a few times and then all of a sudden it jumped to slide 35!!???
Which has a slide with two buttons - one to go to the next slide
and one to go back to the start.....neither of these work. I am
using the blue image buttons. How can I overcome this?
Thanks

Answer 1

Well that solved all but one of them. Thanks for that - but
there's one where it is playing about 10 frames of animation after
the click, so I can't use the gotoAndStop or it won't play the
animation. Its a little tough to describe, but Im using gotoAndPlay
and that sends it to a labeled frame, which plays an animation
where a white box fades in to cover everything. When the white box
is at 100% opacity I have a gotoAndPlay action on that frame which
tells it to start playing an embedded timeline. There's about 10
frames on that embedded timeline too and then a stop. The stop on
the main timeline comes before the embedded one - but those run
independently as far as I know. It all works fine for the first
click, but a second click, no matter how fast or slow I click
advances it to the second stop on the embedded timeline, the main
timeline replays the correct portion again. Hopefully that makes
some sense..
I have posted what I have so far so you can look at what I am
saying. The button I'm talking about is the "projects" button on
the bottom of the screen. A second click sends it to another page.
