Hi, does anyone know how to control an mc’s timeline with the mouse position? So, when you click and drag right it plays the timeline forward and vice versa? I know how to do it with a slider, but I’m stuck on replacing the slider position with the coordinate where you click your mouse…if that makes any sense…

Thanks for any help,
