i did it like this:
create a symbol "movie" with some animation.
split the movie into two parts:
in the first part do some animation
in the second part do the reverse animation
- add a "stop();" in the first frame of the movie
- and a "stop();" in the last frame of the movie
- and a "stop();" in the middle of the movie (after the animation is completed,
before the reverse animation starts)
clear??
create a symbol "button"
add the button to your "main" scene
place the movie above the button.
click on the movie:
add following actionscript:
that's tricky but cool:
on (rollOver) {
if (_currentframe > _totalframes / 2)
gotoAndPlay(_totalframes - _currentframe + 1);
else
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay(_totalframes - _currentframe);
}
