reverse animation

[wakkoguy]

hey
i want to do a reverse animation, now is there a way to do it with frames instead of a motion tween?

i want to do a rollover on a button and when the user rolls out, i want the animatio to reverse back to the button

ya, both of those basically do the same thing, you've sent me the .fla for the button test but that had a motion tween in it, how do it without a motion tweens? (like frames) also could i see that .fla to the first link u gave me?
thanx!

hey that's what i want now how do i do it? i'm kinda new so i am trying to understand how to do it with just the .fla

The main code is this :


for the button movie_clip :

onClipEvent (load) {
this.stop();
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.movie1.direction == "forwards&quot {
this.gotoAndStop(this._currentframe+1);
}
if (_root.movie1.direction == "backwards&quot {
this.gotoAndStop(this._currentframe-1);
}
}


for the rollover action :

on (rollOver) {
_root.movie1.direction = "forwards";
}
on (rollOut) {
_root.movie1.direction = "backwards";
} Regards

Guess that would work too!
I haven't used Big Dave's onClipEvent action, but the coding remains roughly the same, just maybe a little faster in execution!

Try:

now will this work without using a motion tween? i made a movie clip where everyframe has a keyframe in it

 

[BigBadDave]

You don't need motion tween, it just plays the movie_clip backwards. Regards

ok i'm dumb! i can't figure out either of you guys's .fla's! is there a tutorial or something? i'm sorry thanx so much for helping me

It's simple really :

First, make your button with mouseover

Second, make your button into a movie_clip (if you havn't allready)

Next, name your movie clip on the stage

Next, put an on (rollover) {} and on(rollout) {} action on your button relating to your named movie_clip

Last, put the onClipevent(load) {} action on you button movie_clip Regards
