Playing animations in reverse

Hi there,

I have a script that i use to run animations in my models, but i would also like
to be able to play them in reverse as well.

For example, i have a series of buttons that i use to trigger parts of my
animation. Button 1 runs 0-2 sec, Button 2 runs 2-4 sec and button 3 runs 4-6
seconds. Now if i decide to press my buttons in reverse order, i'd like to see
my animation running in reverse, such that button 2 will now play 6-4 sec and
button 1 will play 4-2 seconds.

I hope this all makes sense.
Has anyone come across this before?
Does anyone have any scripts that they're willing to share?

I can provide the script that i'm currently using if this will help anyone with
this problem.

Cheers,

George,
    Here's a script that will play your animation in reverse. To play in reverse
successfully, you should set the default "Animation Style" to 'none'
in the 3D properties dialog. Otherwise, the C++ animation routine will collide
with the Javascript engine. (You can imagine how that might happen!).

Here's the script for reverse:

//=======================================
//get the first animation in the scene and create control vars
firstAnimation = scene.animations.getByIndex(0);
firstAnimation.speed = 3;
firstAnimation.oneFrame = 1 / firstAnimation.framesPerSecond;
scene.activateAnimation(firstAnimation);

//run the animation using a TimeEventHandler()=================
myTimer = new TimeEventHandler();
myTimer.onEvent = function(event)
{
    firstAnimation.currentTime -= firstAnimation.oneFrame *
(firstAnimation.speed * 0.1);
    if (firstAnimation.currentTime <= firstAnimation.startTime) {
firstAnimation.currentTime = firstAnimation.endTime; }

scene.update();
    runtime.refresh();
}
runtime.addEventHandler(myTimer);

Thanks Gary,
The script you provided works perfectly
