I have a question about controlling clip timeline with AS.

I have a button(Button.A) that has a menu-like objects in the timeline and the following AS.

[AS]onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (this.hitTest(\_root.\_xmouse, \_root.\_ymouse, true)) {  
if (this.\_currentframe\<this.\_totalframes) {  
nextFrame();  
}  
} else {  
if (this.\_currentframe\>1) {  
prevFrame();  
}  
}  
}  
[/AS]

What i want to do now is to have another button(Button.B) that will tell the (Button.A) to do the prevFrame.

Is this possible ???

Hope it’s understandable 🙂
