Hi,

I have created a 20 frame prerendered animation which I have inported into flash as a jpg stream. My question is how do I make this into a MC which by pressing on (only within the MC boundries) and dragging will allow the timeline to go foward (if mouse is dragged right) and backwards (if dragged left)?
