scrolling thru frames

[truebaillie]

The project at hand requires a horizontal scroller that allows the users to scroll forward or reverse thru the frames of a movie clip. When the user lets go of the scroller the movie should pause on it's current frame. I must be overlooking something simple because this project seems so logical. But I have never seen a tutorial or an example that specifically attacks this problem... Any suggestions?

I would start by trying something like this.

You make a draggable button inside a movie clip to be your scroll button. You set a variable equal to the scroll movie's horizontal position using the get property action. You use that number to tell target (whatever movie you're scrolling) to go to a frame.

It is true, you'd think someone would have made a tutorial about that by now...

In fact, I decided to make a flash movie myself. I called it frame slider, and I submitted it to flash kit. However, it's been awhile since they've updated their movies.
