using buttons to play the timeline backwards

[Brayshakes]

I am making a flash and when you push a button the screen fades to an alpha black and an image animates over the top of it with a little text dialogue. But the plan for this is that I want to have a close button and when you press it, all the animations play backwards when you press the close button, so it seems like it is going away. Any takers?

Here's a thread about playing the timeline backwards that should help you out.
