Hi all,

Perhaps this question has been asked before, but I can’t seem to find the right answer or hint @ google, so I thought I’d try here.

Okay, I’ve got a imported .mov file on the stage and when I test the movie, it plays and loops nicely. What I want to do is, when I rollOver, the movie rewinds or plays backwards.  
Now, I’ve tried some thing with prevFrame();, but this only seems to work on ‘regular’ movieclips, not imported .mov files.

Anyone here who could give me some clues or hints on this?  
Ow, I’m using Flash CS3.
