If you want to play video backwards don't be silly and try and rewind your actual movie (for the reasons already outlining in the email responses > compression and keyframes)
You will need to do this in a video editing program, then export a separate video. This solution is feasible if your .mov displays a 3D model and you want to reverse an animation maybe... You need to look at your brief, asses why you are trying to rewind the video, and then look for the best technology to do this. Telling flash to go through your compressed movie backwards frame by frame is lunacy (as you are finding out the hard way). Sort it out, or your clients expectations (or even your own!).
