Actually, i was on Flash when i think i figured out an answer to your question. The movie is on the timeline. An invisible button is placed on top of it which operates much like button, kinda like [on rollover, goto frame ‘x’]. But i believe such an effect can only be accomplished with some real action script (I only know the basics) But my guess is that the script enables speed of the movie to be determined by the cursor (Obviously) You should check out the “infinite menu” on this site. It should give you an idea.
