Loop, pause, reverse clip...please help

Question

Hi guys,
I seldom work with action script but rather using a normal animation by adding graphic to the timeframe.
the graphic is done but the file is 1,8 MB which is too big for 1 file.
can someone help me?
I am trying to create a function where at :
-first frame, the event will pause till certain amount of second and play till the last frame.
-last frame will also pause certain amount of time and play reverse to the first frame.
can someone please help me?

var mc:MovieClip = whatever movieclip your want to pause, play, pause, reverse
var pause1:int=3000; // pause for 3000 ms
var pause2:int = 2000; // pause for 2000 ms
var n:int = 0;
var t:Timer=new Timer(pause1,1);
t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,pauseF);
t.start();
function pauseF(e:TimerEvent):void{
if(n==0){
mc.play();
mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,enterframeF);
n=(n+1)%2;
function enterframeF(e:Event):void{
if(n==1){
if(mc.currentFrame==mc.totalFrames){
mc.stop();
mc.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,enterframeF);
t.delay=pause2;
t.reset();
t.start();
} else {
mc.prevFrame();
if(mc.currentFrame==1){
mc.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,enterframeF);
t.delay=pause1;
t.reset();
t.start();
