Hi Guys,

I’m just wondering if you could help me out with this one.

I’m trying to achieve a reverse transition of a movieclip and then after the reversing the movieclip, the timeline would go to another button that has been clicked. For example, i have 3 buttons…home music and videos…the content of the home page will be shown in frame 25 and then when the user click on the music button, the home\_mc will be reversed(which has the content and I named the timeline inside the mc back) then gotoAndPlay 26 to display the music content. Here’s my actionscript so far…

stop();  
musicb.onRelease = function() {  
home\_mc.gotoAndPlay(“back”);  
}

the reverse animation of the mc works but whenever I place a gotoAndPlay (26); script after the mc script, it just goes directy to frame 26 in the main timeline.

I’m really hoping that you could help me out.

Thanks.
