Next & Prev Button functions from an array

Question

Help. I'm new to actionscript and am trying to do something
simple like use a 2 frame HTML page with navigation in top (Flash
obj) and plain html stuff in the bottom or main frame.
I declared these global var...
//global
var lssnPages = new Array('lssn_01.htm', 'lssn_02.htm',
'lssn_03.htm', 'lssn_04.htm', 'lssn_05.htm',
'lssn_06.htm','lssn_07.htm', 'lssn_08.htm',
'lssn_09.htm','lssn_10.htm', 'lssn_11.htm',
'lssn_12.htm','lssn_13.htm', 'lssn_14.htm');
var curPtr = 0;
var lastPtr = lssnPages.length -1
Then in the next button hit state used this code to make it
functional:
//Button
on (release) {
function NextPage ()
if (curPtr < lastPtr) { // don't go to last page
curPtr++;
getURL("lssnPages[curPtr]", "Main");
if (curPtr = lastPtr) { //disable Next button
Even though I get no errors, this doesn't seem to work. It
should???
I'm stumped. Does the Flash AS have to call something on the
html page, like the fscommands?
Help, please!

Answer 1

And:
getURL("lssnPages[curPtr]", "Main");
should be:
getURL(lssnPages[curPtr], "Main");
otherwise Flash has the browser looking for a file called:
lssnPages[curPtr] instead of the file at the requested index.
