Relevant code follows:

var animLength : int = ballAnimationMC.totalFrames;

var leftBound : Number = scrubberMC.scrubBarMC.x;

var rightBound : Number = scrubberMC.scrubBarMC.x scrubberMC.scrubBarMC.width;

var dragBound : Rectangle = new Rectangle(leftBound, scrubberMC.scrubHandleMC.y, scrubberMC.scrubBarMC.width, 0);

var calcWidth : Number = scrubberMC.scrubBarMC.width / animLength;

var animPlaying : Boolean = false;

ballAnimationMC.gotoAndStop(1);

frameTxt.text = String(ballAnimationMC.currentFrame);

scrubberMC.scrubHandleMC.x = leftBound;

scrubberMC.scrubHandleMC.buttonMode = true;

scrubberMC.scrubHandleMC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, handleMouseEvents);

toggleBtn.label = "Play Animation";

toggleBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, togglePlay);

function handleMouseEvents(evt:MouseEvent):void

{

switch(String(evt.type)) {

    case MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN:

        scrubberMC.scrubHandleMC.startDrag(false, dragBound);

        stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, handleMouseEvents);

        ballAnimationMC.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, scrubMovie);

    break;

    case MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP:

        scrubberMC.scrubHandleMC.stopDrag();

        stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, handleMouseEvents);

        ballAnimationMC.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, scrubMovie);

    break;

}

}

function scrubMovie(evt:Event):void

{

var scrubPos : int = scrubberMC.scrubHandleMC.x;

var gotoFrame : int = Math.ceil(scrubPos / calcWidth);

ballAnimationMC.gotoAndStop(gotoFrame);

frameTxt.text = String(ballAnimationMC.currentFrame);

}

function togglePlay(evt:MouseEvent):void { if (!animPlaying) { ballAnimationMC.play(); animPlaying = true; toggleBtn.label = "Stop Animation"; scrubberMC.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateScrubber);

    // DISABLE SCRUBBER INTERACTION WHILE ANIMATION PLAYS
    scrubberMC.mouseChildren = false;
} else {
    ballAnimationMC.stop();
    animPlaying = false;
    toggleBtn.label = "Play Animation";
    scrubberMC.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateScrubber);

    // ENABLE SCRUBBER INTERACTION AFTER ANIMATION STOPS
    scrubberMC.mouseChildren = true;
}

}

function updateScrubber(evt:Event):void { var percent : Number = ballAnimationMC.currentFrame / animLength; scrubberMC.scrubHandleMC.x = percent * scrubberMC.scrubBarMC.width;

frameTxt.text = String(ballAnimationMC.currentFrame);

}

I'm looking to be able to create points where once the user gets to specific point in the timeline, the scrubber will require them to release the mouse button, then start dragging again.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help.
