Flash :: Play Flv Files Backwards?

Loading A MC To Play Backwards (files Attached)
I am working on a proof-of-concept for some clients right now involving 3d animated architectural walkthroughs.

My project is set up like this- one main page that holds an empty MC. This MC get loaded with each different section of the walkthrough (2 in this case). It starts with the first clip and the user can go forward. Once it gets to the end, the user can go backwards or forwards. The forwards button loads the next section of the walkthrough and once to the end, user can go backwards.

Now this is where I'm stuck. Once I have loaded the second clip, I'm not sure how to load the first one to play backwards initially. I can get it to load, but it goes to the beginning.

It might help if you check out the swf's, as it may become a little more clear. 'MainPage2.swf' is the one you'll want to open.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

An Option To Play Video Files Backwards?
Hello guys.

I have this .mov file that i want to import to my flash movie, but i want to know if there's a way to play this .mov file backwards? Does flash have an option that lets the user play embedded video files backwards?

Or do i have to go and edit the movie first and then embed it to the flash movie?

Thank you.

Button2 must play the movie BACKWARDS when the mous is over it and also quit playing when the mouse rolls out. Can somebody give me the code for this pleaze?

How Do I Play Something Backwards?
Hey guys I'm trying to work on this feature to fade out of each scene. But the most effective way - if possible - would be to tell flash to go to the opening sequence and play it in reverse.

Does anyone know a comand that is similar to gotoAndPlay, but the reverse?

I imagine it would use onEnterFrame, prevFrame. However my Actionscriping is weak so I'm not sure if that's effective. Thanks guys

Play FLV Backwards
Hello,

I have successfully got a poc of a FLV file playing in reverse. I needed to encode the video with a keyframe on every frame. The file size is as expected rather large. If I encode it at say a keyframe every 4 frames it fails to play backwards and sometimes stops altogether.

Has anyone else managed to play flv files in reverse, can it be done with SeekToPrevNavCuePoint() or something like that?

Thanks

Neil

Play Backwards?
Is it possible to tell a movie to play a range of frames backwards?
For example, if I want to play frames 200-100, is there an AS command to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Play This Backwards?
Hello, my first post here

Check this first:
http://medieteknik.bth.se/gr04/next-back.swf

If you push the right button (yes I know that the buttons should switch place) it plays to frame 25, if you push it again, it will go forward to frame 50 and so on. It's 25 frames between every stop. The whole thing is 100 frames and when you're at frame 100 you comes back to frame 1 again.

Problem: If I want to reverse this, example: when I'm at frame 50 and push the other button i want to go from frame 50 > frame 25 and it will stop there.

I have searched a lot on this problem but I can't find any that helps me.

Reverse? Play Backwards?
Hi,

Using MX in OSX. I have a small movie of artwork with two buttons (forward and back). When you click the forward button it is a simple play button so the movie plays, and the image scrolls to the left (of screen) and another scrolls in from the right of screen (with some easing also). There is then a stop command to stop the movie there. and this goes on for every image. My problem is going backwards.... now i could simply keyframe the backwards button layer and have each keyframe have a 'goto x frame' command... but rather that jump back to the last image, i'd like the movie to play backwards to that last image/stop frame. I've seen other movies do it, but i can't quite work out how to do this myself.... i can't find any reference to reverse, or playing movies backwards in the actionscript manual etc.

Can anyone give me an insight??
BTW i'm a bit of an actionscript novice, so pasting of code etc. would be helpful.

Help Play Certain Frames Backwards?
Hi everyone - I hope you can help with this. I'm new with flash and am learning as I go, but am stuck with this.

I'm setting up something almost like a picture slide show. I've used the masking technique to have the pictures appear as though the scroll in and out when the navigation buttons are rolled over. The "next" button when rolled over simply plays 5 frames until the next picture rolls in.

How do I have the "back" button, when rolled over, play in reverse - like from frame 5 to frame 1?

Any help would be REALLY appreciated! Thanks so much!

Play Backwards On Btn Click
-=Explanation=-

The site I am making is for my church. At first there's a little cross, then it expands to where the center of it fills the screen. There are links on the four sides of it. You click a link and the cross slides to one of the 4 sides. I need a back button to slide it back the same way it came, it would make it needlessly complicated to have a back animation for each of the 4 sides. Is it possible to have the timeline play backwards for like 20 frames then stop? How? plz!

How To Make It Play Backwards?
i have a roll out menu, and i want that when you click on a button in the menu, that the menu rolls back into itself. the menu was made as a button that animates forwards and backwards. what i need to know is how do i tell the button to play only the backwards action of the menu? this is the action in my menu:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
this.nextFrame();
} else {
this.prevFrame();
}
}

thanks

Command To Play MC Backwards?
Say you have a MC of an object moving. Is there a code you can add to a button so that the object in the MC moves in reverse?

I know you can just copy the first MC, highlight all the frames and do 'reverse frames,' but I'm wondering if there is a way that it can be done using only the original MC.

If I'm not being clear I can make an example.

Play Timeline Backwards
I have a small movie file with some pictures of various sizes. I have set up the animation and everything and everything looks fine. However the problem comes when i am closing the movie window. I want to reverse the frames so it basically plays the animation backwards however i dont know how to do this. At the moment i have the closewindow frame just jump to the end of the timeline and close, however it doesnt look right because the background size varies compared to the jpg size. Would anyone out there be able to take a look at my fla and see if they know what to do. I am very new to actionscript but i know that this involves playing the timeline backwards using actionscript.
thanks very much in advance, im really stuck here and id reallly really appreciate if someone could take the time to have a look,
cheers guys,
(this is a flash mx file)

Play A Movie Backwards
ive tried to make a flash that will load a movie and then play it backwards and normally, but i didnt figure out the backward playing, all i had in mind is to add extra frames (same number as the ones ive already got) and make them opposite to what i have, and organize my script with that. but this ofcourse would add some extra Kb too.
can anyone help me with that?
Thanks

Is There A Way To Play Frames Backwards?
I have a zoom in animation and want to do a zoom out button but I must somehow make the main timeline play backwards up to a stop action. Is this possible and if yes wht's the code??? Thank you.

Play Movie Backwards
Hello All,

New round here, great site. I'm fairly new actionscript, be grateful if someone can help me out with this question. I think I'm sort of starting to figure out what action script is about. Basically I have some navigation buttons, which will active movie clips which I have set as invisible until that certain button is activated, then that movie linking to the button will play from frame one of its own timeline and become visible.
Now, what I want to try and do now is, when I click on another button in the navigation I want it the open movie clip to go to a certain frame on the time line and play backwards, giving the impression from the animation that the movie clip is gradually disappearing.

Anyone tell me what I would use to make this move play backwards..

for example I have something like this at the moment, which only activates the movie clips when the buttons are clicked on.

this.part2_mc._visible = false;
this.part3_mc._visible = false;
this.main_mc._visible = true;
this.tv_btn._visible = true;
this.tva_btn._visible = false;

//function to show animation
this.tv_btn.onRelease = function(){
main_mc._visible = false;
part2_mc._visible = true;
part2_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
tv_btn._visible = false;
tva_btn._visible = true;

};
//function to show animation2
this.tva_btn.onRelease = function(){
part2_mc._visible = false;
part3_mc._visible = true;
part3_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
tva_btn._visible = false;

};

[F8] Play Backwards But Still Use Stop()
Hi, I haven't posted in here for an age but I'm trying to mock up a UI for the current product I'm designing....so I can show the software engineers what I want the UI to do.

I've post a simple movie which has 4 lines of text which scroll up and fade out when you press the up arrow, and stops when its reached the next line of text. I want the movie to play backwards when you press the down arrow, to simulate the user going up and down in the menu....except the play backwards code I found just plays until the beginning and ignores the stop(); actions I put on the time line.

see the attachment

Play Animation Backwards
Hullo Flash MX geeeeeks,
I've just come out of a rabbit hole to fetch some scripts. A beginner in actionscript, so please could you help me with my problem.

Let's dig into the problem.
B'fore writing down my problems please check this site
Orange . coz I wanna achieve the same kinda effect for my site. As the user rollovers on the text button a different image takes place of the old one. I know how to do this with (gotoAndPlay) code to move foward. But my problem is how to play the animation backward. I know it can be done using actionscript and it would be easier using the script instead of moving the animation back and forth.

Please help. Your input is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Tell Playhead To Play Backwards?
Can someone tell me how to make the playhead play backwards 10 frames and stop (action attached to a button in same MC)?

I tried this code listed in forums:

function reverse (YourMC, yourFrame, GoFrameNumber) {
if (GoFrameNumber<yourFrame) {
while (GoFrameNumber<yourFrame) {
YourMC.gotoAndStop(YourMC._curentframe-1);
yourFrame = YourMC._curentFrame; //can also use yourFrame-- but better understanding with other methods
}
}
}

but I couldn't make it work. Maybe I couldn't figure out how to fill in my file info to make it work with my file.

Please help!!!!!!
