hey guys i have a couple of questions.

i have a menu that controls my movie right, i was wondering how i could make a little sliding bar like on a media player. where u slide it to a certain spot and it goes to a certain spot in the movie.

also i would like to know how i could get my menu to stay throughout my whole movie?

Put it in its own layer and just add a bunch of frames (F5) so that it matches up to the highest number of frames you have… I don’t know if that made sense? :h:

hows about taking the \_x position of your slider and relating it to the frames of your movie…

say your movie has 100 frames, and your slider moves from 50 to 250

```auto
on (press) {
	_root.slider.startDrag(1,50,250,250,250)
}
on(release){
	_root.slider.stopDrag()
	_root.movie.gotoAndPlay((_root.slider._x-50)/2)
}

```

wer the slider is a movie clip with one frame, in which is the button with the above code on…
