Layer Style Menu help?

Question

Hi,
What i'm creating is a visual for a building plan.
The basic core of it is 30 stages of the build in the form of
30 images on 30 different frame, which are linked to 30 months
(buttons across the top) I also have a left and right arrow
function to cycle through the frames.
What i need now is the ability to show certain items like
cranes etc on the build (toggle on or off)
So i have 30 new frames which have the building + the cranes
on them.
Now i need a way to switch from the 30 standard frames, the
the 30 crane frames at any given point eg. if im on frame 10 (month
10) and turn on cranes, i'll see frame 10 (month 10) with cranes
included. I then carry on cycling through the crane frames, until i
decide to turn off the cranes and switch back to normal mode, again
from the current frame.
Thanks for any help :)

Alright.
You can use the same type of logic for this that I put in my
response to your other thread.
I would create 2 Movie Clips on the stage, one with the 30
standard frames. The other with the 30 crane frames, both with a
stop() in the first frame.
Then, give each of them instance names (say "normFrames" and
"craneFrames").
Now, you need 3 total buttons. "forwardBtn" "backBtn" and
"toggleBtn". The first to move you forward, the second to move
back, and the third to toggle the crane frames on and off.
In the first frame of your root timeline place the following
code:
craneFrames._visible = false;
forwardBtn.onRelease = function(){
craneFrames.gotoAndStop(craneFrames._currentframe + 1);
normFrames.gotoAndStop(normFrames._currentframe + 1);
backBtn.onRelease = function(){
craneFrames.gotoAndStop(craneFrames._currentframe - 1);
normFrames.gotoAndStop(normFrames._currentframe - 1);
toggleBtn.onRelease = function(){
craneFrames._visible = !craneFrames._visible;
}
