Pat,
Couldn't find that budgie.zip... if you lay hands on it, feel free to send it along.
Paul,
I can definitely try that change to the button, but what concerns me more is when I attempt to pull rootIcon.CurrentPage to a dynamic text box, I get an "undefined" value. Seems like my .swf can't find the "rootIcon"...

Hi all,
Have a look through the archives for budgie.zip, I built a crude swf to xerte example a while back, but it's not on this PC.

Have you tried:
on (release) {
_parent.navToPage(rootIcon.pages.length - 1)
}
The pages array is zero-based, so to navigate to the 10th page, I
believe you would actually want to use 9 as the index number.
pages.length would be an integer that is 1 greater than the last page
index.
