have had a crack at this problem and am curious how I can reverse a MovieClip instead of using more frames.

this is what I thought would work but it only goes to the previous frame (as stated in the code), not throught the whole lot.

please feel free to comment.

on (release) {  
bckgrnd.cover.prevFrame();  
}
