well what i am trying to do is move between 2 text boxes through a motion tween. but thats not going to work because you can’t tween backwards. so what would be the best thing to do?

this has probably been posted before but i have no idea where it is. i tried the sliding menu tute but that didn’t work. i’d appriciate any help.
