Question

how can i do this??

Answer 1

Try set ScrubbingEnabled property to true

Answer 2

I agree, set ScrubbingEnabled to true. Your next move depends on how you want to control you MediaElement. I'd say the mot flexible/forgiving way to go about it is to set your LoadedBehavior to equal MediaState.Manual. After setting the Source call your MediaElement's Stop() method. It should show your first frame and let you call the other functions (Play, Pause, etc) whenever you please.
