Can anyone show me how to do this:
1. Display page1.swf (it is a page from a magazine in a swf file, not a movie)
2. Show a button that says "Change page"
3. When I click the button display page2.swf
4. Same thing on each click, to display page 3.swf, page4.swf, ...

I have tried writing javascript to do this, but I just can't get it to work. I am a real novice at this so any help would be greatly appreciated.
