Hey everyone,

Im wondering if its possible to control a movieclips timeline a bit more than the simple play, stop functions.

I was hoping by pressing a button, it would make the MC’s playhead not just jump to frame 20, but play to it.

So if the movieclip’s timeline is on frame 60, I press a button and it scrubs all the way back to frame 20. Click another button and it scrubs to frame 40, etc…

I hope you guys get what im trying to say :rider:
