Buttons That Play A Movie In Reverse And Loads A Movie
Let's say i have a movie that plays, scene and the buttons are placed on the movie and and the movie stops, okay now my problem is that, I would like to know if its possible, and how to do this:

Once my movie and buttons are loaded on the scene, i want to know if there is a way, that i can make it so that, once i click on one of my buttons, the movie goes to a certain frame on the movie so it looks like its playing backward to a blank screen, and after its to a blank screen i want it to load the appropriate movie for the button i clicked.....

I tried to this a while ago, and it did not work, since i have 12 buttons that are linked to open and play 12 different movies...

any kind of help would be greatly appreciated......

thanks

Play A Movie In Reverse Than Load A New Movie In It's Place
I have an index.fla that is opening an external nav.fla.

From the nav.fla I call back to the index.fla --> on(release) play the _root backwards.

THAT WORKS GREAT!

::inside my nav.fla::
**************************************
this.home_mc.onRollOver = function () {
home_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
this.home_mc.onRelease = function():Void{
_root.onEnterFrame = playBackwards;
}
function playBackwards():Void{
this.gotoAndStop(this._currentframe - 1);
}
**************************************

HOWEVER, what I'd like to do after it unloads (plays reverse to frame 1) is load another movie in it's place (the movie corresponding to the button you just pressed)

i've tried this:

:inside my nav.fla::
**************************************
this.home_mc.onRollOver = function () {
home_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
this.home_mc.onRelease = function():Void{
_root.onEnterFrame = playBackwards;
loadMovieNum("about.swf", 0);
}
function playBackwards():Void{
this.gotoAndStop(this._currentframe - 1);
}
**************************************

however it stops the reverse and just loads the new movie (about.swf).

Any Ideas? Thanks in advance!

here are the index , about and nav fla's.

Reverse Movie
can I use action script to reverse a movie.
I'm working on a rotating UI and want to use buttons to control the direction of the rotation. Any suggestion on how to achieve this would be very welcome. I can send a file with the movies in it.

I've seen action scripts that make things rotate in place. But I need icons to rotate around a center and stay still (not around around their own center as well)

Help With Reverse Movie
Hi folks,

I've a VERY simple animation set up in flash. In short it's a movie that plays one way when the pointer is over it, when it's not, it rewinds to the beginning.

It works fine, except that it only works in Flash, and not on the webpage because the xmouse and ymouse paramters are not met if the user moves their pointer of the flash control.

Has anyone got any ideas on how to change this. I've attached the file for reference.

I've read an article on here about having to create lord knows how many different movies to do this, but I would have thought Flash MX would have some kind of "WHILE" command so in pseudo terms it could read...

WHILE this.mouseOver=true THEN
frame=frame+1
ELSE
frame=frame-1
WEND

Help would be really appreciated.

Cheers

Sending A Movie Into Reverse? Anyone?
Been trying to send a movie clip into reverse without relying on that clumsy old prevFrame() thing. I´ve seen one done by mr Alesy (c/o. ultrashock) but that takes the percentage of the clip and stops at frame 1, while I want to make it loop forever.
Any ideas???

Reverse Play A Movie
i need a button that makes the movie to play from its end to ita beginning, can anyone help, please?
thanks

Reverse Button Movie
I have a button with a movie clip in the over state. The movie clip looks like a camera panning up over an image of a person. so when you mouse over, you start at the bottom of his necktie and move upward toward his face. When you mouse off, I want the exact opposite to happen. If you are just at the bottom of his neck, I want you to pan down from the bottom of his neck to the beginning of the over state movie. So it's basically reversing however much of the 'over' movie has played at the point where you mouse off. I'm not that advanced as far as actionscript goes...is there a (fairly) simple way to do this?

Reverse Movie Clip
I am a beginner in flash right now and have one quick question. I have just made a movie clip of a 2D character walking to the right. Now I would like to take this character and make him walk to the left (saving this as a separate movie clip). Instead of starting all over and having to go through all the key frames I was wondering if there is a faster way of reversing him. In other words I'd like him to flip over (i know there is a way to flip him easily) and then walk the other way. Almost as if I reversed the entire movie clip except instead of walking backwards he was walking frontwards to the left.

Edit: Also if anybody knows any sites that have help for beginners. Like a tutorial that brings you through the program slowly.

Reverse A Movie Clip Help
Hi all

My first post ever...

I have started on a new website. Using one of Kirupa's great tut's I have created abutton with a 'complex' rollover/rollout effect.

However, if you look here:

http://www.fishgraphics.co.uk/cool4/

And then click on the blank button at the top of the left-hand navigation panel, you will see a 3D movie load in. I want to be able to 'rewind' that movie using one of the other buttons on the left, so that the movie just playes backwards and disappears back into the wall.

What code do I need to place into my new button to make the 'Window Movie' play backwards?

Thanks for your help!

Getting A Movie To Play In Reverse...
I have a movie which acts as a scrolling menu. Graphic buttons are supposed to slide up and down when the respective "menu control" buttons are clicked, ie. click next, the movie advances to the next graphic button, click previous the movie goes to the last graphic button.

Getting the movie to advance to the next graphic button and stop is easy enough, but I need to learn how to make it play backwards to the last graphic button and stop when you hit the previous "menu control" button.

I have looked through many different articles, howtos, and searched through Google Groups (which is how I found this site), and looked through these forums, but I haven't found anything that really helps to do what I need...

A gotoAndRewind option would be wonderful, but of course there isn't one and that would just be too easy... :lol:

Thank you!

my action scripting is...

Code:

Playing A Movie Clip In Reverse
Hello, I was wondering is someone could point me to a tutorial for playing a movie clip in reverse when triggered by a button.

I did find one tut on this subject on the site but it uses the Tell Target and I was wondering what the new method would be for doing so.

I have two buttons, when you roll over one it plays the movie.

When you roll over two I want it to play in reverse

Also, if I have a sound loop in the movie clip that is set to stream, will it also play in reverse??

Can you help?

Thanks Much!

Movie Clip In Reverse After OnRollOut
I'm a little new to actionscripting, and I need a little help. I'm using Flash MX, also.

I have a button which I created to play a movie when hovering over it (the button item appears to move out toward the viewer). What I want to do is to have the movie reverse (named "x") once the mouse is moved off of the button (the button item lowers to it's original position).

It seems like I would have to use a script such as:

on (release) {
this.onRollOut = function() {
gotoAndPlay(x);
};
}

where x is the movie in reverse. At the moment, I'm attaching the aforementioned script to the button containing the movie (movie is contained in the "over" state), but I'm not sure where to put x. I don't think x belongs in the button layer (with the button states), and I don't know where else to put it. I've tried putting it in the second frame of the layer containing the button, but it doesn't seem to work. Is there another way to do this? Any ideas, anyone?

TIA,
aaroneousmonk

Can I Play A Loaded Movie In Reverse?
ok, here is the situation

im building a flash page that incoperates php and flash, the php passes what page was last and what the next page is so that the appropreate flash can be loaded. what i want to do is cut down on the number of swf's that i have to create and this could be done if i can call them to play backwards. i have seen tutorials on how this is done however i can't seem to get it to work with a loaded swf into a movieclip. is there a way that this can be done or should i just go ahead and make 2 times as many fla's to load.

?

Reverse Animation Before Loading Movie
Hello,

I searched for an answer but I couldn't find it.
So I hope one of the flash-gurus can help me.

My main movie has container mc
(instance: container) on the main page where I load all my external movies in.

I also have a mc with all my buttons in (instance: menu)

I reference the buttons from the main timeline.

here is the code:

Code:

menu.about.onRelease = function() {
if (_root.container != "about") {
_root.container.loadMovie("about.swf");

}
};
menu.services.onRelease = function() {
if (_root.container != "services") {
_root.container.loadMovie("services.swf");
}
};

menu.projects.onRelease = function() {
if (_root.container != "projects") {
_root.container.loadMovie("projects.swf");
}
};

menu.contact.onRelease = function() {
if (_root.container != "contact") {
_root.container.loadMovie("contact.swf");
}
};

What I would like to do is load the movie into "container" and if I click another category reverse the animation of the current movie and load a different movie into "container"

Thank you for your help.

Stopping A Movie When Playing In Reverse
Hi All,
I have a movie with a number of stop points. When you click the next button it plays an animation foward, then when you hit the back button it plays backward with the following script on the button:

on (release) {
reverse(_root);
}

this following code is in the first frame of the timeline:

function reverse(timeline) {
timeline.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (timeline._currentframe>1) {
timeline.prevFrame();
} else {
delete timeline.onEnterFrame;
}
};
}

It plays backwards ok but I am wanting it to stop where the stop actions are on the timeline.
Any ideas? would be much appreciated.

Thanks

How To Do The Reverse Of Creating A Movie Clip
Instead of making a movie clip and working inside that, I need to know how to do the reverse, basically take all the content, layers, tweens everything and put that entire thing into a movie clip.

I have this animation and I don't want to have to open another document and create a movie clip symbol and then basically re-create the entire animation again within that mc. Is there a better way?

Thanks!!
