playing backwards after a "load movie" command

[niksan8787]

Hello,

First I'd like to say that I am so happy to have found this forum. I really hope that we can help each other here (for now i am not so good at scripting but I have the will:) )

My question is:

I have this movie clip. I click somewhere on it. A "load movie" action has been taken. How do I make the current movie clip to play backwards before it loads the other movie clip? (there will be options for many clips to be loaded and I don't want after clicking on all of them to play backwards the current movie clip, just some of them).

Thank you!
niksan.

Hello Niksan,

By "play backwards" do you literally mean to play in reverse? What's the content of these loaded movieclips? Is it video or other SWFs?

hello medyman,

i mean litterally reverse play the content of the current movie clip. And yes, I mean other SWFs.

Yes. Believe it or not, I actually have other things to do with my time then hang around this forum.

Anyway, the only way that I know of (and theoretically, the only way possible to do this) is by using something like the rewind prototype method (http://flash-forum.flashdevils.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=185319#post185319).

Here is a test for you. Create a new MC, then make a tween. Put a stop in frame 1 and the last frame of the tween. Then put the following on the MC:




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


Then, on a button in the main timeline:



on(rollOver){
_root.yourMCInstanceName.back = false;
_root.yourMCInstanceName.play();
}
on(rollOut){
_root.yourMCInstanceName.back = true;
}
