I would like to control the embedded video by advancing the playhead forward and /or backward by increments \> 1 frame.

I have tried:

on (press) {  
stop();  
for(var j = 0; j \< 4; j++)  
nextFrame();  
}

- and -

on (press) {  
stop();  
mc.gotoAndStop(mc.\_currentframe + 4);  
}

(mc = movie clip)  
I enabled Simple Buttons and clicked on the buttons containing the AS; they are not functioning. Although, the play, stop, goto first and last frame buttons work. I am perplexed. ☹ I have tried creating a new .fla file with a different .wmv, and the failure to function persists.

Any Ideas?

I appreciate all posts!
