Re: FLASH: Please help: ActionScript heck.

[Dorian Nisinson]

Sung,

	Make a Movie clip with nothing in it.

Give it 3 frame, each with a key frame

Put this movie clip (mc) in the movie you want to be able to have play

backwards or forwards.


In frame one- label it "park" and put a stop action in it.


In frame 2- 

Comment: reverse MC f2 label=reverse 

Set Variable: "Cframe" = GetProperty ("..", _currentframe )

If (Cframe  <> 1)

      Begin Tell Target ("..")

            Go to Previous Frame

      End Tell Target

Else

      Begin Tell Target ("..")

            Stop

      End Tell Target

      Go to and Stop ("park")

End If

Play


In frame 3- keyframe- no label

Comment: reverse MC

Go to and Play ("reverse")


In the button in the movie clip that you want to play backwards put an

action on whatever mouse action you want (i.e. over, press, roll over,

roll out) that tell targets the reverse  movie clip with an instance

name of "reverse" with the action Play.


This should do it.
