As much as I like AS3, there are a lot of little things which make Willoughby go mad (and refer to himself in the third person).

In AS2, I had a custom class that controlled the playhead, allowing me to play movie clips forward, backwards, skip frames, play to a certain frame, or whatever.

I recreated this code in AS3, but if there are any movie clips animating inside of the movie being manipulated, they do not animate at all.

I have created a little demonstration to show you what I mean. All the code does is move the playhead forward, and when it reaches the final frame, moves the playhead backwards.

As you see in the AS3 one, Chunners doesn’t animate at all.

Has anyone else run into this, or am I the only one who does this sort of thing?
