This should be easy but i can’t get it to work right. It plays the movie clip on rollover just fine but what is the conditional statement i use to play the movie clip backword on roll out. I want the movie clip to play prevframe until it hits frame 1. The logic sounds easy but i cant get the syntax right.

on (rollOver) {  
\_root.myClip.play();  
}  
on (rollOut) {  
//what goes here?  
}

thanks,
