Newbie: how to reset an animation

I have an animation where if you click a link to start it, it runs as expected. If I click any other link it toggles the animation in reverse, just how I planned. But after clicking any other link then going back to the original link that starts the animation, I have to click that link twice to get the animation to run again.

Is there something I should be putting in my animation script to tell it to "go back to beginning of script after you play in reverse", or in other words a sort of "reset" so the user does not have to click the link a second time to get it to run again?

If you need an example let me know and I can either post a link to the page or upload my script.

Thanks.
