Hi everybody,

I have a basic question.  
In order to use a control bar, of the kind that you can use to rewind, play, pause, stop, and fast forward the movie…Do I have to create the animation of the movie based on the timeline and its frames, or is there a way to control the animation of my movie, even when it is created with actionscript?

Please let me know your opinion,  
Thanks a lot
