I’m having a bit of a problem with getting the timeline to play backwards through frames. I’ve tried doing something like the following and thought it should’ve worked but it didn’t, and I need some help with this plz:

[COLOR=dimgray]function onEnterFrame() {[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=dimgray] gotoAndPlay(lastframe);  
lastframe = \_currentframe–;[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=dimgray]}[/COLOR]

Thanks 🙂
