I’m using Flash MX. I’m trying to get an invisible button to control the timeline of a movie clip. On rollOver, I want my movie, clipA, to move foward 1 frame for every fps that the user is over the button, starting with frame 40, until clipA reaches frame 50. Then on the rollOut I want clipA to move backward 1 frame for every fps that the user is off the button until it goes back to frame 40.

I was trying to use \_currentframe+=1 & \_currentframe-=1, but i got no response. Any suggestions???
