Hi everyone,  
I’m new to AS3 and have been fighting and searching for a solution to this problem for a week now, and I’m VERY close!

I crated a MC holding of a series of images (about 50) and I jump around in it using plenty AS3 scripts (most of which I don’t fully understand yet, but I’m working on that to! :emb:)  
I had to find a way to “rewind” (= play backwards) the MC. Since there is a stop(); command in almost every frame, prevFrame does not work and if I put that in a loop, it goed WAY to fast (but worked)… So I could think of only one way…  
Create a new (reverserd) MC with the same image sequence ald reverse it and play that one.  
This all works fine (very proud of it ;().

Now my question:

To get this to work for multiple image sequences, I have to load all images twice (once in MC\_1 and again in MC\_2 and select them and reverse them).  
Not a big one, unless you want to create MANY of those SWF’s…:write:.

Is it possible to load the 50 images of the first MC in reverse into the second MC dynamically? JUST the images, noting else.  
extra info: the MC\_2 is already in the lib(empty) and placed on the stage.

something like:  
var pointer:Number=1;  
for (var:i:Number=50;i\>=0;i–) {  
get MC\_1.picure(var);  
put it in MC\_2.frame(pointer);  
pointer = pointer + 1;  
}

All help is welcome and please take into account that I have little experiance and copy most of my scripting from people like you 🙂

T.I.A.
