Through this tip (http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=110390), I devised a fast-forward and rewind-button that would zoom the user through the movie by skipping ever 5th frame in either direction, then proceeded to wonder (for like 3 hours!!) why some things controlled on the timeline would not work when I tested the buttons. Then it dawned on me that the code to fast-forward and rewind was skipping these frames! Jeez I'm such a woolhead.

Anyways, I was hoping someone knows of a way to zoom through a movie at a moderate pace without skipping frames. If you do, please share the knowledge. Thanks!

Well thanks for that - sorry it took so long to reply, I just moved across town and haven't had internet access for the last couple days. I looked at the link you provided and it appears to zoom the movie in and out (e.g., enlarging/shrinking). I need to fast-forward and reverse the timeline - like on a VCR - without skipping frames.

Does anyone know how to do that?
