Mouse Pointer Controling Anim

[JCT]

Here's an example of what I want to do.

I want to know how this guy control his animation with the mouse pointer. If you move your mouse pointer over the anim you can play it in slow or on reverse. How can you do this ?

I know the animation is simply 100 pictures on 100 frames. No tweening or anything like that.

Here's a similar animation I've done using 3DS and Flash:

But I'm missing the "control" feature. Can anyone help me or point me to a good tutorial ??

Thanks

I think you could create a movie clip containing the animation, maybe 100 frames long. then you need to convert the mouses x position into a value between 1 and 100 (or 1 and however many frames are in the movie clip)

you can use a clip event attached to the movie clip to send it to the desired frame.

code:

---

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {

    frame = Math.ceil((_root._xmouse / Stage.width) * this._totalframes;

    this.gotoAndStop(frame);

}
