animation/MC controller

[Rick]

Probably been asked b4. I could not find on threads.
I am looking for a way to play a MC in reverse, onRelease.
The MC is controlled by a reverse, stop, and play button. I just dont know the AS for the reverse.
The MC is looping, if that matters.

Thanks.

In AS2.0 this is not possible.
May be in AS3.0
for AS2.0, you might want to try copying the frames to go in a backward motion.
so it will be going forward on the timeline but the mc will appear to go backwards.

Well, this is sort of possible...it's just like creating buttons like this, with creating a "rewind" function...

Read this and see if this is the general idea of what you are wanting to do.

This can be easily tweaked into doing what you are wanting.

you could do _root.movieclip.prevFrame(); for however many frames you have. And then set a time delay between each one for however fast you want it to go.
