Here's the deal... i got a movie clip that goes forward and stops on specified frame numbers like frame 12, frame 24, frame 36 and at the end of it, the same sequence but backwards. So what i have is a move that goes forward and backwards, stoping on some key frames. Now what i wanted to do is two buttons, one to make the movie forward and anotherone to meake it go backwards from the point were it is. so i thought about making it this way: When the forward button is pressed, the movie goes on the line from frame 1 to 36 (as an example) and when i hit the button to go backwards i have to know in wich frame i'm in to go to the second sequence and play the movie backwards!! so the movie would move forwards or backwards. The problem is, i don't have anything to obtain the frame number where i'm in! so... how could i do this?!?!?!

Thanks in advance to anubody who answers me!!
