Playing embedded movie backwards

Question

I am patching together my first flash, which is definitly not
optimal (lots of redundant code etc.) Since there is a deadline,
ill go back and learn about how to make it much more optimal after
this first version is done, so keeping all that in mind:
Is there any way to play an embedded movie backwards upon
calling it with a gotoAndPlay() command from the same scene?
Thanks, a simple solution would definitly save me a lot of
time, thanks for any tips!!

Not all timelines can reversed their playback. This will work
on motion/shape tween
and frame by frame animation, nothing.
What kind of content do you have on these frames ?
