Playing backwards

[Pho-ku]

Ok, i got a object (a link), when i roll over it changes to another color, my problem is that i want it to go back to its orginal color when i roll out.

Is there a way to play the timeline backwards when i roll out or do i have to copy the frames and revert?'

/edit
Never mind.

on (rollOver) {
_root.fade = true;
}

on (rollOut, dragOut) {
_root.fade = false;
}

text_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (fade) {
text_mc.nextFrame();
} else {
text_mc.prevFrame();
}
Did the job.

I don`t think you can play the timeline backwards, you could always code the color change that rather then animating it if that`s what you prefer, but copying your frames onto another layer and just reverting the frames through the panel is preety quick and painless.

Although you have found a solution here is a helpful tip, as the question comes up every now and then :-)

You can in fact tell Flash to simply play the previous frame....and that every frame, which plays the timeline backwards.


this.onEnterFrame = function(){
this.prevFrame();
}

Replace this with either _root or the movieClip name.

Good job Taff, I had completely forgotten about that. Thanks for the refresher. 8)

on your button give the ascript


on(rollOver){
bar_mc.play();
line_mc.play()
}
on(rollOut){
bar_mc.back();
line_mc.back()
}
