Synopsis

prevScene( )

Description

The prevScene( ) function moves the main playhead of a movie to frame 1 of the scene before the current scene and stops the main movie timeline. The “current scene” is the scene from which the prevScene( ) function is invoked. It must be invoked on a scene’s main timeline in order to have an effect; that is, prevScene( ) does not work inside a movie clip or onClipEvent( ) handler. If invoked from the first scene in a movie, prevScene( ) sends the playhead to frame 1 of that scene and halts movie playback.
