Hi everybody,

I haven’t ever created a movie with a media controller before, and I do not know how it is done.

If I have a main movie, with movieclips loaded into levels, or into other movieclips, how can I create (or use a component) to control the playing of the main movie (and everything that happens in the movie), so I am able to rewind, pause and play?

Thank you very much for your help.

Peace,
