Simple problem that i cant figure out!!

Hi i am looking to control the rotation of an object using two flash buttons.

When the button on the left is pressed i want it rotate to the left and opposite for the right button.

I can get it to go forward but it will stop once it gets to end of the timeline, i need it to keep rotating until i lift the mouse of the flash button.

I cant get the left button to work at all as it is allready at start of timeline but i still need it to go opposite way basically playing timeline in reverse.


The flash movie itself is an embedded movie with 40 frames.


Thanks

There are several ways to do this.
1) you can create a movie clip that plays forwards and then create one that plays backwards and make it loop on mouse-over.

2) You can use actionscript and do this as well, but it'll be a little complicated. Basically you set your variable equal to something on mouseClick then check to see what the variable is and play it from that direction. If variable = left then your going to play it, else call the previous frame.

Hope that helps.

Hi yeah the actionscript would be better need to keep file size down.

Can u give me more information on the actionscript?
