for some reason the very first bit of code gives me three errors

1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before semicolon.
1084: Syntax error: expecting semicolon before rightparen.
1084: Syntax error: expecting rightbrace before end of program.

does the code need to be updated?

Nice code but change the removeValues() function to this:

function removeValues():void{
var i=0;
while(getChildByName(‘value’+i)){
removeChild(getChildByName(‘value’+i));
i++
}
}

This way there will be no error when you click the previous button from the last page.

This is a very helpful article, thank you.
I have noticed a error that happens when you get to the last record/page then click back on the prev button the following Error occurs:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
at pagination_fla::MainTimeline/removeValues()
at pagination_fla::MainTimeline/prevPage()

For now I cant work out why, do you know?
cheers
