Please check out in the documentation: Press the Objects button at the 
top, then select the Object "VideoClip" on the left tree and you can see 
the messages and properties it gets.

To move forward or back, you'll want to create a button to get and set 
the currentTime property of the player object.

You can search these archives if you like by going to:
http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/RunRev/Search.htm

And enter your search criteria in the Search box there. There's also a 
plugin (I think by Mark Wieder) which will search the archives as well.

Check out the icon property of a button. You can switch it from one 
image to another.

on mouseUp
   if the icon of me is 1025 then --> PAUSED
     set the icon of me to 1026
     --> DO YOUR PLAY STUFF HERE
   else
     set the icon of me to 1025
     --> DO YOUR PAUSED STUFF HERE
   end if
end mouseUp

best,

Chipp
