Question

HOW DO I FAST FORWARD THE TIMELINE SMOOTHLY?

Hi, I'm using this dock project: os x dock in flash
to make a timeline. Im replacing the icons with year dates 1999 2000 2001 etc... (which i've done)
I have a movie clip that is all the info on one graphic that scrolls up or down. Understand. Like one long slide, up or down.
When I click on a year I want the corresponding year in the long slide to slide into place (with easing).

Go to and stop function just skips everything and stops, and goto and play is also wrong. I also want it to speed into it and then slow down
a bit like this one but with no bottom slider, just buttons for each year...

you can quite clearly see at the top my tweens for the text slides and the bottom, the date numbers. I want these buttons to smoothly scroll the timeline back and forth, pushing the slides up and down. (smoothly)

here is a screenshot of my stage
any ideas guys?

I can tell you that the doncesar.com timeline wasn't done with tweening. Its all actionscript.

A pretty old technique too. Here's a version that was originally done in Flash 4 here:

You'll have to register with ultrashock to download it.

yes, but thats not at all what i need!

i want to click on a button, and have the information scroll into place.
i dont want a scrubbable button.
