prevFrame() with mouse collision detection

programming flash
1

hello all,

i have successfully created scripts with prevFrame() that work, thanks to Kirupa’s tutorials. however, when i try to use “mouse collision detection” with prevFrame(), it will not work. :frowning:

i added a mouselistener object to detect if my mouse hits the purplebar i have on stage:

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
    if (rewind == true) {
        //if rewind switch is set to true play backwards
        prevFrame();
        // play backwards
    }
};
// create a mouse listener object.
var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
/* every time the mouse cursor moves within the SWF file, 
   update the position of the crosshair movie clip instance on the Stage. */
mouseListener.onMouseMove = function() {
    if (purplebar.hitTest(_xmouse, _ymouse, false)) {
        rewind = false;
        play();
    } else {
        rewind = true;
    }
};
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);

i’ve tried putting trace in my function to test my mouse detection is working and all. help please?!

I’ve uploaded the .fla file. Will appreciate if you can take a look at it. Thanks in advance!
