You need a series of button or frame action sets.

Each frame entry position should be labeled.

Each position should be labeled with like Labels for the same image in

the forward and reverse directions. For instance N1 to N10 for the

forward and R10 to R1 for the Reverse. Each Nx should be the same image

as Rx except the series it is in will be reverse direction.

animation segment starting at one more than the current position). To go

backwards go to the reverse segment (starting at 1 less than the current

position).

Use a single timeline with the reverse version following the forward

position. Putting it in a Movie Clip would be OK but this is not a good

use for Load Movie. You might put this complete animation in a Load

Movie as a Menu option off your Main menu.
