We like to move on (usually) but sometimes we want to move back. Here is the tutorial.

The little script below shows how to run a movieclip backwards.

//We put this script in Frame 1 of the movieclip we want to run backwards. The var backward will have different values, which determines the direction of movement.

                    
backward=0;
function goBack(){
  _root.onEnterFrame=function(){
	if(backward==0){
	       nextFrame();
	       textField.text="forward";
	}
	if(backward==1){               
	       prevFrame();
	       textField.text="backward";              
	}
  }             
}
goBack();
                    //In the last frame we put a stop (IMPORTANT) and change the value of the var 'backward'.

                    
stop();
backward = 1;
