So I have this mc: this.slidingMenu it's a mc of a ring shaped menu, which turn around when 2 button get clicked. When the button on the right, mc goes forward until stop(), when the button on the left mc goes reverse until the stop(). In the first case i use gotoanplay, and everything goes fine. For the second I use prevFrame, like this:
[Code]....
is it possible to play a movie clip (or simply, main timeline) in reverse order e.g. suppose, there is a movie clip, few frames in that, of course it will play from first frame to end frame, and also, i want them to play from end frame to first frame.

I have various movie clips within movie clips, these all work fine. Within one of the MC's, i have a button with instance name "left" and one called "right". These are used to cycle through my work (this is for my portfolio). The right button works fine, just plays the timeline of the MC using frame labels. I built my site last year but its going through a complete overhaul on the structure and coding side cos quite simply, its a mess Last year, i placed this code ON the "left" button itself:

I'm using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 2, and I'm wondering if there's a way of scripting certain parts of a movie to play in reverse when a button is pressed, I need it start reversing at the most recent, previous, frame and stop reversing 30 frames later.
View 3 RepliesFor a project I'm working on, it's necessary that I am able to play a sound object in reverse. How would I be able to do this in AS3?
View 1 Repliesmy reverse button causes the timeline to ignore the stop() function on its keyframe and play backwards all the way to the start. Since it keeps trying to play the previous frame, it's frozen at frame 1.
Code:
stop()
// Reverse button //
var reverse:Boolean;
rev_btn.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, down );

I have a image gallery where you can click a foward button or a backwards one. I have each image on every 15th frame. So when the person clicks the next button it plays from 1-15 where it stops if they click back it will go to 15-1 etc. I got it working with the 2 images so I can go between them but when I add a third it won't do anything. I execpt it's something to do with removing the event listener, but I'm not sure.
Code:
stop();
var bRewind:Boolean = false;
this.back_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseOver);
this.forward_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseOut);
function fireEvent(event:Event):void{

I am looking anywhere to find a way to play sounds in reverse wih flash.
View 5 RepliesI have a movieclip that is comprised of multiple images.These images are used as the backdrops of various different pages of my portfolio.Every image is in a specific order, so if the user decides to go from page 1 to page 4, it will pan through the first three pages quickly before stopping on the 4th page. Simple Enough.The problem is I want them to be able to also do this while manipulating the timeline in reverse. So say if they're on page 4 and want to go back to page 2, it will 'rewind' the timeline and stop on page 2.know there are plenty of tutorials out on how to play a timeline in reverse, however none of which discuss stopping automatically when reaching a certain point that is before the beginning
View 8 RepliesIn my flash movie, I've imported a very small video file. When the video is done playing, I wanted the user to be able to click a button and the video would play in reverse. I've gotten this to work with the _currentframe and _nextframe properties, but when I play the movie in reverse it's not as smooth. Here's an example of what happens: [URL] Once the movie is done playing, click on it. When it's playing in reverse, you can see it gets a little choppy when the guy gets towards the top of the rail. Has anyone found a way to play the movies backwards without having the speed affected? Maybe I shouldn't use the _currentframe property??
View 4 RepliesI have 3 movie clips mainclip(_root),one_mc(inside _root),two_mc(inside one_mc). and i want to play the animation in reverse direction so that it has to play two_mc in reverse direction first then one_mc ,and _root all in reverse.
View 2 RepliesI am currently working on a flash presentation and I have this code to play the slides:
Code:
MovieClip.prototype.playhead = function(dir) {
this.onEnterFrame = f
[Code].....
What happens is that when I press the leftBtn or rightBtn it plays the whole presentation, ignoring the stops I put in the MC. My mc has slides every 5 frames with tweens between them.
How can I make this and have my MC stop in every slide instead of just reading all at once?
I want the tween to end when the alpha and the _x tween go back to the beginning. here is my code
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var xScaleT:Tween = new Tween(kText, "_x", Back.easeOut, 0, 476.7, 3, true);[code].......
I cant stop the code without interuppting the reversal of the tween.
i am new to this site and also to AS i am trying to create a an expand and collapse functionality in which i want a movie clip to shrink and disappear when i click on a button and reappear when i click it again the solution that i came up with was i animated the movie clip shrinking and disappearing and now i think playing the timeline in reverse will solve the other half and i also added the stop script at the 1st and last frame of the movie clip.
i tried a lot and a number tried and tested the no of scripting techniques posted on other threads
I have 3 objects. One is a Movieclip, and other 2 are buttons (forward and backward)[code]...
Inside MC there are several animations with stop(); where it should stop till clicking Next button to play till the next stop.[code]...
i want it to be stopped when tjhe page opens then when you mouse over the clip plays to frame 10 and STOPS while the mouse is over it then when the mouse is no longer over it i want the movie clip to play in reverse and stop

View 8 RepliesI apologize for being a newbie. I have been trying to figure out how to reverse an EKG movieclip to go from right to left instead of the direction it is currently moving:
View 16 RepliesI'm creating a movieclip that shows some photo samples with two arrows at the bottom. I want it so that if the user presses on the right arrow, the movie clip plays forward and goes toward the end to "shuffle" through the image samples. But I would also like them to be able to press on the left arrow and be able to play the movieclip backwards to "shuffle" back toward the beginning of the images.
The closest thing I can think of that would be similar to this would be the way you can shuffle through album images in iTunes.I just need to know the Actionscript 2.0 code to play the movieclip in reverse.
I've got a movie clip which i want to affect with 2 buttons. On a mouse over, the right button makes the movie clip play, and tween to the right, and on mouse out, it stops. I want it to do the same thing but in reverse for the left button. Here's what i've got so far...
ActionScript Code:
/* Code to animate thumbnails RIGHT */
MC_ADNAV_RIGHT.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, PlayThumbsRight);
function PlayThumbsRight(event:MouseEvent):void

I am trying to play and reverse a movieclip using the following script:

It works but just only one frame. Do I need to loop this function - if so how.
I need to have the ability to spin or rotate an object such as a globe. I have 2 rollover mc's that spin the globe but I am having trouble getting it to loop on the backwards spin. Right now I have it acivating the mc to play fowarding in its timeline then loop but what is the best way to get it to go in reverse. My .fla can be found here [URL].
View 1 RepliesI am building a site in flash that contains a number of cog movie clips. In this animation I have a lever that can shut off the cogs and make the cogs go forward and reverse. I seem to have the forward and stop functionality working, but I can't seem to get the cogs to go in reverse in a constant loop. They will only go in reverse until the beginning of the timeline. Below is the script I am using:
CODE TO STOP CLIP:
function stopClip() {
this.stop();
}
lever1_mc.onPress = function() {

My inquiry is, if I have a MovieClip with an animation, and I need to play this MovieClip by button, I know I need to use this action // on (rollOver) // telltarget() // play()
but if I want to rollout before the animation reach the last frame, for example the frames are 90 and I decided to rollout in 50.
How I can make the frames go backward to frame 0 after I rollout of the button ??
For your information I have MC flash 8 professional.
I have a college project to hand in within 2 days. I'm making a website and what I want to achieve is a button that plays the movieclip (which is a piece of paper going onto the stage) and when you click it again it reverses that clip. I've tried loads of things and only got code that allows two buttons to reverse and go forward.
View 2 RepliesIs it possible in AS2 to remove an attached movieclip instance in reverse order? I want to give the user the ability to click an erase button and remove the most recent instance of an attached movie. I have tried .swapDepths and getting inconsistent results. Here is what I have:

In a game I'm working on, I'm using the ColorTransform class to the turn the 'enemies' red as they fall off the screen after they've been hit by one of the player's 'missles' with the following [code]...
Can I somehow undo the ColorTransform to an enemy once it has been applied, or does he have to stay monochromatic thereafter?
I use this code i found on this forum. i want to control an MC to act like a buttopn, on roll over it plays the movieclip forward, on Rollout it plays the movieclip backwards.
This script works ok, but on when reversing it feels slow and often it doesent reverse to the start of frame 1 in the MC.... It is very sensitive to quick mouse over and out. The quirky reverse is possible because i use prevFrame...is there another thing i can use?

Basically I have just created an animated button using frame labels, and was wondering if there is any way to reverse the timeline.
Currently my code looks like this:
Code:
btnHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, btnHomeOn);
btnHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, btnHomeOff);
function btnHomeOn(event:MouseEvent):void {
[code]....
The way it's coded here, if the user removes the mouse from the above the button the timeline continues from homeOff.What I want is for the timeline to reverse from its current position instead of just playing forwards from a fixed point.
I have a quick question for any flash smartypantses out there....I'm looking for the most efficient way to do this weird thing...
I'm trying to create 6 menu buttons (all text) that when you click one, a submenu drops down (more lines of text - that fade in individually).
[Code]....
What I'm having trouble with is figuring out how to get this submenu to "close back up" (animation) when someone clicks one of the other main menus (Colors or Locations, in this example.)
How can I get it to perform this animation BEFORE it navigates to the next menu section?
