I have a 23 frame animation that is moved forward or back on a mouse over. The problem is trying to reverse it. It is ok until it gets to frame 1 then it just stops. I need to get it to jump to frame 23 and to start reversing aagain.

function reverseIt(e:MouseEvent):void{  
rewind = true;  
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER\_FRAME,revFrame);  
}

function revFrame(e:Event):void{  
if(rewind == true){  
tub.prevFrame();  
if (currentFrame == 1){  
gotoAndPlay(23);  
tub.prevFrame();  
}  
}  
}
