Flash - Playing a Flash Movie Backwards

Free Flash Tutorial

Step One: Set up the Main Stage

1. Create a new movie.
2. Rename layer 1: Car
3. Set the size to 500 x130px in: Modify > Document
4. Create a new symbol by going to: Insert > New Symbol
5. For name: Car graphic
6. For behavior: Graphic
7. Click: OK
8. Draw a car (or type the word car!). Alternatively copy and paste some clip art from Word, into the symbol, which is what I did. Make sure your car is facing to the right >.
9. Go back to the main stage by clicking on the scene 1 button:
10. Open your Library: Window > Library
11. Drag your car on to the left hand side of the stage.
12. If it is too big/small resize it with the Free Transformation tool .
13. Right click (Mac - Ctrl Click) on frame 45 and select: Insert Keyframe
14. With your Arrow tool move the car, that is on frame 45, to the right hand side of the stage.
15. Right click somewhere between frame 1 and 45, select: Create Motion Tween
    
    If you play your movie, the car should now drive from left to right. In test mode it will do this repeatedly, never going in reverse.
