hi,
i was wondering how can i reverse the frames…
what i mean is if for example u have a motion tween of a circle sliding to the right…
what should i write in the last frame of the motion tween so the circle will go back…
\_current frame–?!
or what…
if it’s possible…
thanks ahead…
:h:

If you just want to move your circle back, just copy your first frame in your time line and paste it on the end of your timeline and create a new motion tween between your middle frame and your last frame…
Hope that helps…

how’s about this:
On a button add:
```php
on (rollOver) {
_global.over = true;
}
on (rollOut) {
_global.over = false;
}
```
and on an empty movie clip u can add:
```php
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_global.over == false) {
_root.prevFrame();
} else if (_global.over == true) {
_root.nextFrame();
}
}
```
this is just an example so u get it, do u get it? 😛

well…
because i remember seenig the same question as mine in flashkit… but it was a long time ago and then i had flash for only for like a week…
hell i didn’t even understand the question then…
so i went there now and searched because i was sure that the answer is there…
and i do search here in this forum too!
and flashkit isn’t that much better then this site…
in fact i like the tutorials in this site much more then there… beacuase of the explantions about every line of code and clean presentation…
