I’m using the Action Script posted below to instruction a button to rewind the root movie two frames at a time (and then stop when released). However, I need to find a way to make it automatically stop on the first frame. As it is, the function is rewinding into the previous scene…and nobody wants that. Any suggestions?

rewind\_btn.onPress = function() {  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“controller\_mc”, 1);  
controller\_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {  
\_root.gotoAndStop(\_root.\_currentframe-2);  
};  
};  
rewind\_btn.onRelease = function() {  
controller\_mc.removeMovieClip();  
stop();  
};
