I need some help with a reverse problem.  
I have a mc with 37 frames with stop on frame 1, 19 and 37 and should be controlled by 2 buttons.  
On one button I have the following code.

on (release)  
{  
if (\_root.bmw360.\_currentframe == 1) {  
\_root.bmw360.gotoAndPlay(“2”);  
}else if (\_root.bmw360.\_currentframe == 19) {  
\_root.bmw360.gotoAndPlay(20);}  
}

Now i need som code on button 2 that plays it backwards.

ie  
on (release)  
{  
if (\_root.bmw360.\_currentframe == 19) {  
\_root.bmw360. [COLOR=“Red”]play backwards from 18 to[/COLOR] (“1”);  
}else if (\_root.bmw360.\_currentframe == 37) {  
\_root.bmw360. [COLOR="#ff0000"]play backwards from 36 to[/COLOR] (19);}  
}

I dont think that the above code is right at all but it tells how I want it to function.

I tried another really great code for reverse found [here](http://www.iconinteractive.com/Article18.htm) but that didnt worked right for this problem, or does it?  
So please can someone help me with this?
