hello

im trying to get this button to work, but i can’t seem to get it right. if the user rolls over AND STAYS over the button i want the movie to play all the way through. and if the user rolls over the button and rolls out before the movie hits frame 36 i want the movie to play up to frame 36 and then play backwards. and if the user rolls out after frame 36 i just want it to play backwards. TIA for any help. here’s my code:

stop();

this.onEnterFrame = function(){  
if(rewind == true){ //if rewind switch is set to true play backwards  
prevFrame(); // play backwards  
}  
}

this.onRollOver = function(){  
rewind = false; //set variable that decides wether ot not to play backwards…  
play(); // play this movie clip  
}

this.onRollOut = function(){  
while (this.\_currentframe \< 36){  
this.nextFrame();   
}  
rewind = true;  
}

this.onRelease = function(){  
getURL("##","\_blank");  
}

cut the first onEnterFrame !!

stop();

this.onRollOver = function(){  
delete this.onEnterFrame  
this.play()  
}

this.onRollOut = function(){  
if(this.\_currentFrame \<36){  
this.onEnterFrame = function(){  
this.prevFrame()  
}  
}else{  
this.play()  
if(this.\_currentFrame \>=36){  
this.onEnterFrame = function(){  
this.prevFrame()  
if(this.\_currentFrame == 0){  
delete this.onEnterFrame  
}  
}  
}

this is just a quick writing, hope it helps.  
i didnt test it, but you can see the logic in this code…

cheers
