Im working on an animation in flash and I was wondering if there was a way to have buttons on the bottom for a fast forward and rewind, Not so that there are chapters but so that everytime you press it, it would advance maybe 200 frames or go back 200 frames. Im not very good with actionscript and I couldnt find a tutorial for this. Any help would be greatly appreciated :kommie:

on (release) {  
gotoAndPlay(\_root.\_currentFrame + 200)}

on (release) {  
gotoAndPlay(\_root.\_currentFrame - 200)}

should be right, you might have to use the number function for \_currentFrame, but I doubt it.
