keyframing

For a schoolassigment me and some buddies of mine are creating an application that is showing many similarities with the C-Mon & Kypski musicvideo on www.oneframeoffame.com. The application is being developed in Flex.

We want to get a random point of a clip, let it pause so a user can mimic the pose and make a snapshot out of it.

What i managed to do is get a random point of the movie. I did this by getting a random value between 0 and de total duration of the movie.

But what i didn't managed to do is let the screen pause on every 24st of a frame. As the movie concist out of 24FPS. It looks like the the random value of the movie that is being requested is being rounded by the movie itself. As example: There appears to be no difference between the frames requested at 2.40 or 2.41.

It appears it got something to do with keyframing i've read on the Adobe® Flex™ 3.5 Language Reference. The movie is a FLV file and i use the VideoDisplay object to display the movie.

Does someone is familiar with this or knows a solution to my problem? Thanks in advance
