We do know some if not most details. I posted some information in other posts of this thread (yes, we should add them to the Wiki). Rewind a movie means (much simplified): restore the state of all originally *static* instances in that frame. Instances that have been modified by a script or created dynamically must be treat differently. We have two levels of deterministic information: - lifetime of an instance (when if first appears on stage until it is removed): this will always restored when rewinding - changes in matrix and color transform: only restored when not modified by ActionScript Instances that have been *created* dynamically (attachMovie() and friends) are not touched when rewinding. It's difficult to abstract this since the MM player makes lots of exceptions...
