Is there a way to skip forward/backward when playing a movie?

I created a movieplayer to take screenshots from movies (AVI-files).

But sometimes I want to take a screenshot and I press the button too late, so that I missed the frame that I wished to capture.

And then I have to play the entire movie again to give it another try.
If it's a frame at the end of a movie (which is 1.5 hours long), then you can imagine it's very frustrating to wait that long.

As far as I know - no. Maybe you need to use some other tool. Or maybe you can use an external .DLL to do that in Blitz. The native movie commands are very basic, might be used to play a cutscene between two levels, but not much more.
