here’s one way:  
for your reference, _target_ is the movieclip that you want to fastforward

```auto
//the fast forward button is pressed:
on(press) {
   target.fastforward = true;
}
//we want to stop fastforwarding when the user lets go of the fastforward button
on (release) {
   target.fastforward = false;
}

```

now, we want to have a movieclip test to see whether the button is down (by checking the fastforward variable in the target, and then acting accordingly.

```auto
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
   target.gotoAndPlay(target._currentframe + 2);
}

```

hope this helps you
