I have a music track that I want to sync with some animation, all within one movie clip. Is there a way to scrub the play head back and forth so that I can place key frames in sync with the beat of the music track?

I can scrub the play head via the mouse, but when I do the music dosen’t initialize or execute.

Any ideas?  
Thanks!
