hello there

does anyone know how to reverse the sequence of animation? i guess the animation needs to be in a movie clip...

any advice, hints, clues or hands on help will be much appreciated.

try making a blank symbol, and having 3 keyframes...
in the first,

stop();

second:

_parent.gotoAndStop(_parent._currentframe - 1);

and third:

gotoAndPlay(2);

and just give this movieclip an instance name, and call on it! Hope this helps

This plays the movie clip on rollOver, and reverses it on rollOut...

Its a good practise to avoid using enterframe as much as possible.

The file I am attaching is in MX 2004. This code works even in MX.
Actually even I have used enterframe, but have made sure to delete it as well.

Its always useful to delete onEnterFrame.

I'm trying to play a movie clip in reverse on a button click. The movie clip has a transition on it, and I tried using the code in the first movie that was sent out, swapping out my instance name for the this keyword.
---------
on (release) {
if (north_bg_mc._currentframe > 1) {

north_bg_mc.prevFrame();
}

gotoAndPlay("basic");

}
--------
This isn't working. Is it because of the transition in the movie clip, or is it because I'm not referring to it properly? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Z

I figured out that I had to include the timeline command in a conditional as well, cause it was happening b4 the fade. I'd like to get more info on the blank symbol with 3 keyframes method as well.

Thanks!
