Short description what I wan’a do: 30 frame long movie clip (my\_mc) and a button (button\_btn). When button rollOvers the clip should play (how to do that I know :)) and when on button RollOut the clip should play backwards from the same frame where it stopped. What action script would be helpfull for me?
