Scrubbing timeline with slider - how to smooth it out?

Question

I've created a simple slider to scrub through some frames of a MC named states.  Each frame has the same MC (states) just in a different color.
I've setup the slider using
slider.setSize(200,1);
slider.maximum=states.totalFrames;
slider.liveDragging=true;
slider.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,updatemc);
function updatemc(e:Event){
    states.gotoAndStop(slider.value);
I'd like the trainsition from one frame to the next to be smooth so that there is no blunt change when the frames change.  I can easily add a shapetween between frames which creates the smooth transition I am looking for but, I only want the slider to stop on the 5 main frames.  Can someone suggest how I'd accomplish this either through a code mod. or something on the timeline?
Thanks in advance,
Josh

I found out how to set my snap interval which helps.  I just need to smooth out the transition.  Hmm..  Something tells me I should not be doing this on the timeline but in my code.
slider.setSize(200,1);
slider.maximum=15;
slider.liveDragging=true;
slider.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,updatemc);
function updatemc(e:Event){
    states.gotoAndStop(slider.value);
    trace(slider.value);
stop();
var month:Array = ["December","January"];
var day:Array = ["Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday"];
var date:Array=[10,11,12,13];
datetext.text=day[1];
slider.snapInterval=5;
