How do I script the timeline to play backwards?

[blastbum]

Hi,

I'm trying to put a reverse fade on a button once you roll the mouse off it. I know how to get the button to fade in when the mouse rolls over it and I would really love it if someone could help me to script the timeline to play backwards so the "fade in" will "fade out".

Thanks.

LOVE YOUR WORK!!!!!!!!!

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
prevFrame();
}

that will play a clip backwards.If you are using buttons to control this clip you can use them to set a variable for it and use that variable to determine its direction.

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if (playingBackwards) prevFrame();
}

on(rollOver){
animationMC.playingBackwards = false
animationMC.play();
}
on(rollOver){
animationMC.playingBackwards = true
}
