AS3 Netstream Reverse

Question

I'm using netstream to playback a series of videos in a folder.

The idea is for them to work as a menu for a site. Ex:

click button > [play video] > show content

then

click close > [play video in reverse > show menu

is this possible?

Thanks

Reverse playback is not possible with NetStream object. You're limited by the capabilities of the object as written by Adobe. You could step through individual frames if you had a streaming media server, but the playback would likely be subpar for realtime.

Your best bet is to create two versions of your videos: one forward, one rendered in reverse. You can then simply ns.play() each stream forward.
