Okay, I have been working on putting a flash portfolio together and I have come to a problem point, and thought I could seek help here. A big thanks to anyone that helps me solve this rather simple (i think) problem.
Here’s the problem. I have a movieclip that is comprised of multiple images. These images are used as the backdrops of various different pages of my portfolio.
Every image is in a specific order, so if the user decides to go from page 1 to page 4, it will pan through the first three pages quickly before stopping on the 4th page. Simple Enough.
The problem is I want them to be able to also do this while manipulating the timeline in reverse. So say if they’re on page 4 and want to go back to page 2, it will ‘rewind’ the timeline and stop on page 2.
I know there are plenty of tutorials out on how to play a timeline in reverse, however none of which discuss stopping automatically when reaching a certain point that is before the beginning.
If anyone has any suggestions please let me know! I was considering perhaps using if/then statements to keep it moving when it hits one of the stop points, however I’m not very advanced with actionscripting and have only really just started learning it.
Thanks for help!
