Hi all,  
Im not sure what the correct name for what I am looking for is but I want to create an fla that pulls external jpgs or swfs into a main timeline which has a playhead that the user can drag backwards & forwards to view the jpgs/swfs… Also, if it is not interacted with, it should just play through… Ive seen these on lots of occasions but of course when I actually need to build one I cannot find one!!

cheers. :h:
