how to activate home, and help buttons on a flash site

[pepe]

Hi all, I am new to the forum, and even newer to Flash. I am writing an e-book for kids, and on each page there is a home, help, next and back button. I figured out how to do the back and next buttons, but how do you do the actionscript for the home button? I named the instance
home_btn, so I thought you could just do it like a function for the next and back buttons,

stop();

home_btn.onRelease = function(){
if (_root._currentframe ==?) {
gotoAndStop(1);
}
}

this is obvoiusly not working. If I have 14 frames, what do you put in the currentframe= #, 1-14?,
why cant I say

home_btn.onRelease = function(){
what do I put here?

Sorry this is not so concise, I am up agianst a deadline, and freaking out. any help would be greatly appreciated if any of this makes sense, thanks!

Imnot sure what the 'if' is for? Surely hitting the home button, you always want to gotoAndStop(1);?

Could you just get rid of the if?

sorry if im missing something

Hi, thanks for the idea. I finally got it, your right, I didnt need the if, or even the function. I didnt realize there you have to put actions in the button itself(right click actions when hit button)and not just in an action layer. so a simple onRelease, gotoAndStop worked great. Thanks.
