i would like to control a movie via a button. my movie is made of over 100 frames (swish animation exported to flash) i want a button that will stop the movie at the frame that i desire. eg my button is on frames 10 - 20. in that time i want to be able to press the button to make the movie stop at a particular frame, say frame 35. how do i do that?:ne:

basically i want a button to stop the movie at a given frame. the movie has to play until it reaches that frame then stop. so if the button on frames 10 - 20 is pressed, it will play until it reaches frame 35 then stop.
