Play in Reverse

PLEASE LOOK AT MY NEWEST POST!!

Hello, I was wondering if someone could guide me a little with playing a movie clip in reverse. The major problem I'm having, though, is that I have a frame-by frame animation withing a movie clip called 'card' of a card flipping over. Now 'card' itself is also tweened to move to the left and change in size as it flips over, and also has an independent drop shadow for effect. So I need to have everything go in reverse; the frame-by frame within 'card', as well as the right to left tween and drop shadow on the main timeline.

My ultimate goal is to have the user click on the card, it will flip over in one direction, click on it again, and it will reverse and flip back to it's original position.

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Hi Some1Won,

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by this.... Could you tell me where target_mc should be placed (I'm not sure what the method body is). I copied and pasted this code from a previous post, and tried to enter my own info.

I think I need to break up my steps a little more. I guess the first thing I need to learn to do is put onRelease functions on my card so that when the user clicks on the card, it will flip forward or reverse.

ANY help, greatly appreciated....

Well, I've decided to take a completely new approach.

I have reversed the frames in my movie clips, and I am far closer to what I want to achieve. However, I still need to find a way to remember if the card has flipped already, and when to flip from frame 1.

Here are my files, please do have a look:

I would still prefer to play in reverse, but I cannot figure this out...

Cheers for any insight!

hm..
'card' in the method body should be 'target_mc' or 'target' ?
