FLASH: Playing a Movie in Reverse

[Lincoln Barbour]

Help Me!


Is there anyway to use Tell Target to play a movie-clip in reverse?


For example: I have a very large amount of text that I have masked off to display a portion of that text. This text is tweened to go from top to bottom over 100 frames.


Using a button, I've created a scrolling-down effect. This is the Action Script I wrote:


On (Press)

      Begin Tell Target ("/introText")

            Go to Next Frame

            Play

      End Tell Target

End On

On (Release)

      Begin Tell Target ("/introText")

            Stop

      End Tell Target

End On


To get the movie to scoll back up, I tried this:


On (Release)

      Begin Tell Target ("/introText")

            Go to Previous Frame

      End Tell Target

End On


But that only goes one frame at a time per click. I'd like to get it to scroll upward (or in reverse, depending on how you look at it) while you Press the button and Stop when you release.


Any suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated


Thanks,
