As a registered owner of Flash MX 2004 Pro, I was trying to attach a behavior
to a rewind button on one of your "How Do I" examples. While the Play and Pause
options worked correctly, the "Rewind" option did not even appear on the drop
down listing. The listing showed only hide, play, pause, show, stop. Yes, I had
the layer correctly picked. I ran the updater and the problem still exists.
What do I do now? Thanks for the help.

it's a known issue (bug) with the rewind behavior. If you convert your
button into a MovieClip, the behavior will work. It doesn't work with
buttons.

is there plan to fix it?

i saw this problem myself and thought, what the heck?

one question, if you convert it to a movie clip why does the button dance up
and down? is there a way to stop this? i'm not much on actual coding, but i
cant seem to see why the button dances as if being constantly pushed. any help?

I ran into the same issue when going through the initial tutorial in Flash MX
Pro.

I know this is not an ideal workaround, but what I did was open the completed
tutorial and then the movie explorer. I then looked under "rewind" (step back)
in the script, copied and pasted it into my tutiorial.

Here it is:

on (release) {
//FF video Behavior
//copyright Macromedia, Inc. 2003
if((this.video._parent._currentframe - 2) >= 0){
this.video._parent.gotoAndPlay(this.video._parent._currentframe
- 2);
} else {
this.video._parent.gotoAndStop(0);
}
}

Hopefully Macromedia will address this bug soon, but in the meantime, pasting
and editing this workaround works for me.


on (release) {
//FF video Behavior
//copyright Macromedia, Inc. 2003
if((this.video._parent._currentframe - 2) >= 0){
this.video._parent.gotoAndPlay(this.video._parent._currentframe
- 2);
} else {
this.video._parent.gotoAndStop(0);
}
}
