Are you just looking for information on how you click a button on the main timeline and then a movie clip plays?

What do you want then ? Buttons to control your movie like, let's say a vcr :

play button : on (release) {
_root.play();
}

pause button : on (release) {
_root.stop();
}

stop button : on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop(1);
}

reverse play : on (press) {
var frameToPlay = _root._currentframe-1;
_root.gotoAndPlay(frameToPlay);
}
rewind : same as previous but with : var frameToPlay = _root._currentframe-5; bigger or smaller depending on how fast you want to rewind.

fast forward : same as previous but with : var frameToPlay = _root.currentframe+5; bigger or smaller depending on how fast you want to fast forward.

something like that ? Basically, all you have to know is the path to the object you want to control and how to use the gotoAndPlay(), Play(), Stop() and gotoAndStop().
