does anyone out there know how to create a movie where a user can control the position of the playhead on a root or mc timeline with a scrolling slider mc? for example, check out [macromedia.com](http://macromedia.com)’s home page (flash mx movie introducing ground breaking sites nike skateboarding, eagle f-1, and cbc home delivery).
