Forward/Reverse control

OK I have two sites in which I need to do this:
Site #1
I have a flash file that has an arrow pointing left and an arrow pointing right. I need them to control a MC so that if you mouse over the left arrow it plays the MC backwards and it stops when you mouse out. I also need it to play forward when you mouse over the right arrow and also stop when you mouse out.

Site #2
I need to do the same thing only with a slider rather than arrows. This will go frame by frame stopping each time the slider is drag in whichever direction.

If someone could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe working with this one (your second request) you can get the first one going...

This is not my file... Can't remember who posted it, but credit goes to him not to me...

Thanks.... I'll try it

Thanks That'll help me with my second request! The only problem is I can't figure out how to implement that into the first request. There has to be an easier way to do that for the first site.

Something as simple as...

on(rollOver){
_root.my_clip.nextFrame(); //forward
}

on(rollOver){
_root.my_clip.prevFrame(); //backward
}

Yes but will that keep playing as long as I keep my mouse over it? or will it stop only so i have to mouse out and mouse over again to keep going.
I need it to keep playing, and then stop when you mouse out.

I guess what I'm asking is how do I get the movie to play backwards when you mouse over the left arrow.

Then use something like this...
define the following function on your first frame...

code:

---

this.onEnterFrame = function(){

if(backward){

this.prevFrame();

}

if(forward){

this.nextFrame();

}

};

---

And your arrow buttons add this...

code:

---

//left arrow...



on(rollOver){

backward = true;

}



on(rollOut){

backward = false;

}



//right arrow



on(rollOver){

forward= true;

}



on(rollOut){

forward= false;

}
