How to get MC's to play backwards?

[Vox98]

I have a small MC, that I duplicated, but instead of rearranging the frames, is there any way to just make it play backwards?

Sorry, I dont understand whats going on there.
I dont need it to play in reverse with a button.

what exactly do you want to do? something like this?

here i have an MC that is unidirectional. but the last frame says dir="backwards"; and first frame says dir="forwards"; then an onClipEvent(enterFrame) function that says basically, if (this.dir=="forwards") this._currentframe++; else this._currentframe--;
