Through [this tip](http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=110390), I devised a fast-forward and rewind-button that would zoom the user through the movie by skipping ever 5th frame in either direction, then proceeded to wonder (for like 3 hours!!) why some things controlled on the timeline would not work when I tested the buttons. Then it dawned on me that the code to fast-forward and rewind was skipping these frames! Jeez I’m such a woolhead.

Anyways, I was hoping someone knows of a way to zoom through a movie at a moderate pace without skipping frames. If you do, please share the knowledge. Thanks!
