    I thought this was an easy thing to do but I'm lost. can somebody help?!

    I have 10 buttons on a frame (eg frame 1) on the main timeline. If the user clicks one of the buttons, the timeline would play (and travel along the timeline) and then stop on a certain frame (eg frame 20). each button will play and stop on a different frame.

    How do i do this?
    And dare i ask, if it can go backwards too?

    thanks

    okay, say every button plays ten frames from the last, ex: button one goes up to frame 10, button two to frame twenty and so on. give every button this code:
    on(release){
    play();
    var which_button=(whichever button it is)
    }

    so button one would be:
    on(release){
    play();
    which_button=1;
    }

    and button two would be:
    on(release){
    play();
    which_button=2;
    }

    and so forth

    on every ten frames (or whichever frames you want it to stop at) write a code detecting which button was pressed. So frame 10, 20, 30 etc... would have this code:

    //Frame 10 Code;
    //Detects if button one was pressed then stop
    if(which_button==1){
    stop();
    }




    //Frame 20 Code;
    //Detects if button two was pressed then stop
    if(which_button==2){
    stop();
    }



    //Frame 30 Code;
    //Detects if button three was pressed then stop
    if(which_button==3){
    stop();
    }

    and it goes on like that.
