hey guys i’m looking for some help here…  
i’m trying to create an interactive timeline with the flash movie im putting together.  
it should be very simple a simple bar and a slider that goes along with the animation.  
However the slider should be dragable and when dragged it should read the frame it is on and play the movie from that frame.  
i’m sure it is quite easy i just have no idea on how to do it.  
i built a button and tweened it acros the screen to match the total animation in the movie.  
on press i’m assuming it should stop as 1 of the first actions, on release, releaseoutside it should play but inbetween i just cant figure out what to do with it or how to make it dragable to match the movie’s timeline.  
any help/idea is greatly appreciated
