Well since you're embedding the flv on the timeline why not just call this
function on the last frame?

reversePlay = function() {
reverseInt = setInterval(function() {
gotoAndStop(_currentframe-1);
}, 32);
}

Subject: [Flashcoders] reverse play FLV?

Hi there,
 
I have an issue regarding playing FLV embedded on the timeline in reverse
order. Im using a simple script to check if the playhead has reached the end
of the video and then reverse plays it. However, this seems to choke the
player, my guess is the codec can't cope with this. Processor performance
leaps from 10% to a staggering 70-80%. Is there a workaround for this, or
should I simply abandon the idea to use this method?
 
Many thanks for any advice,

Yeah I just did this, on the timeline using laco tween and timeline tweens,
you need to use sorenson squeeze for on2,
its the only one that gives you proper 1:1 keyframe placement for a smooth
playback. its pretty good and easy to do.

Im going to try and get the flv playback ccomponent to play in reverse next
as playing videos on the timeline is ok, but not great.

Dont know if this will work , but worth a try

var totalPlayTime = 100; //seconds
myMovieComponent.play(totalPlayTime) ;

this.onEnterFrame = function (){
if (totalPlayTime > 0){
   myMovieComponent.play(totalPlayTime --) ;
   myMovieComponent.pause();
}else{
   delete this.onEnterFrame ;
}
}

cheers

You can't play an flv backwards because of the way it is encoded. A video
consists of sequencial compressed images. If you jump to a frame, the
decoder has to collect an I-frame (a complete image) and walk through
B-frames (partial images containing only changed eareas) to accumulate
frames until it has reached your selected frame.
Understandably, that requires some performance.

If you'd like to play in reverse you'll have 2 options: create another flv
from reverse footage and play that one instead, or create an image sequence
of loose images and put them in a mc. Now you can build controls that play
through the mc (or swf) in any direction or speed you wish.
