Hello,

I think the tutorials on [Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com) are really great. I am looking for a specific tutorial or help creating an animated timeline.

[COLOR=Black]The movie would self-run showing a photo and text for each time point. The user can choose to stop the feature, start the feature, or go back to the beginning.

[/COLOR]I’m a Flash newbie, so if there is an existing tutorial that would address this (even if its content isn’t exactly what I’m looking for) , I’d love to be directed to it.

Thanks for your help!
