Playing movie backwards through button

[TheAwake]

Slowly this site becomes my favourite one...

Lets do this quick:
I have a movie, and it includes 3 images with the stop(); function in it.
I added two buttons, one for continue, and one for back.

Now I want that if the user presses the back button (at one of the 3 images), the movie is played backwards until he reaches the last image with the stop(); point (and then the user should decide if he wants to watch forewards (to the stop(); image where he has been before) or still backwards)

Anyone knows a solution?
Thanks!

with only 3 images id just use frame labels

frames called image1, image 2, image 3

put them in an array

my_arr = ["image1","image2","image3"]
first frame 
i = 0;

 buttons

forward.onRelease = function(){
i++
if(i>2)i = 0 
gotoAndStop(my_arr[i])
}
back.onRelease = function(){
i--
if(i<0)i = 2 
gotoAndStop(my_arr[i])
}

Well, I think I'm too stupid for that...
Where should I write that array thing into?
Wrote it into scene1, but it just said "Szene=Szene 1, Ebene=Ebene 1, Bild=1: Zeile 2: ;' expected first frame"

And the buttons...if I write that (means half of that) into one button's actionscript, I get some "...has to be in an on function" error in the debug window.

I'm sorry for my unknowledge, but...thats why I'm here, eh?

all the code goes on the main timeline

stop();
my_arr = ["image1","image2","image3"]
i = 0;
forward.onRelease = function(){
i++
if(i>2)i = 0
gotoAndStop(my_arr)
}
back.onRelease = function(){
i--
if(i<0)i = 2
gotoAndStop(my_arr)
}

no code is attached to the buttons. the buttons have instance names forward and back. click the buttons, go to properties and give them the instance names
i very quickly put the above into an fla so download and take apart

Good use of the code tags!
