I’ve created a SWF scrubber that allows me to  
fast forward and rewind swf’s I load into a container  
MC.

The forward works fine and very smoothly. The  
rewind however, does work but is quite choppy  
and very slow.

The swf videos I’m loading are converted MOV files  
that I’ve converted with flash into swf files. The  
movies seem like they have only two keyframes  
the first and last frames in the movie.

How, do I get these swfs to look smoother in  
reverse? Someone said that it may work better  
if I can get all the frames of the videos to be  
keyframes. How would I go about conterting  
these videos so they have all keyframes?

Any help would be great.

Thanks.
