View Full Version : reversing only frames played

Hi there,

I have got a button, which, on the over state, plays a movie clip. When the user rolls out the button returns to the Up state as expected.

But I am looking for a way for the button to 'reverse' the movie clip in the Over state, before returning to the UP state when the user rolls off.

However, a user may roll over and then roll out before the movie clip is complete - in that case, I would want only the frames played, to reverse, before returning to the Up state, rather than reversing the entire sequence of frames played in the Over state.

Can anyone suggest a way to do this? (The 'reverse frames command' is of little use here, since only partial frames would be played back in some cases).


I am not an actionscripter (just yet!) so I would appreciate it if you could explain complex points or simplify where possible.

Many thanks,

Alex

Howdy... Welcome aboard...

I don't know how much this file can help you, but at least you can see how I did forward/backward action... Hope you can find some use out of it.. ;)

Hi,

Thanks for your help.

I keep thinking I've just missed a simple actionscript line or something - because I figured this would be easy!

Anyway - I am sure all the tutorials on the site will also come in handy.

Thanks again,

Alex
