If you want to use the new API call - playBackward() - mentioned in this video you’ll need the latest videoMaru 3.5 beta SWC - see link at top of window.
playBackward( mc ) works be taking the MovieClip that you pass and creating an onEnterFrame function. On each enterFrame event it says: gotoAndStop( this._currentframe - 1 );
Then it checks to see if this._currentframe == 1. If so then it deletes the onEnterFrame function.
It looks like this:
function playBackward( mc:MovieClip ):Void { mc.onEnterFrame = function():Void {
this.gotoAndStop( this._currentframe - 1 );
if( this._currentframe == 1 ) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
}
