Helloooo everyone,

so I’m using this script to play a menu backwards and it works, but when clicking the button to do so…it plays the whole darn thing back and does not stop at my stop actions…do I have to write the action like this now? ;()pots ?!! 😉

ideas, thoughts???

thx,  
m.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (\_root.direction == “forwards”) {  
this.gotoAndStop(this.\_currentframe+1);  
}  
if (\_root.direction == “backwards”) {  
this.gotoAndStop(this.\_currentframe-1);  
}  
}
