Hi,

Paste this Actionscript into the first frame of your movie and create a movieclip named 'scrollMC'........


_root.onEnterFrame = function () {
trace(_root.scrollMC._x );
// set the scroll
if (_root._xmouse>300) {
_root.scrollMC._x -= 5;
&#125; else if &#40;_root._xmouse<300&#41; &#123;
_root.scrollMC._x += 5;
&#125;
//set the bounds
if &#40;_root.scrollMC._x<=-50&#41; &#123;
_root.scrollMC._x = -50;
&#125; else if &#40;_root.scrollMC._x>=500&#41; &#123;
_root.scrollMC._x = 500;
&#125;
&#125;


You could either use a mask to only show the selections you want or you can size the clip larger than the stage and use the stage as a sort of mask. One thing to notice is the last set of if statements set the bounds for the scroll. They currently just stop the scroll at the end of the clip. You could have it so that when the clip reaches one side, it loops to the other side to simulate a seemless scroller. Something like this.....

//set the bounds
if (_root.scrollMC._x<=-50) {
_root.scrollMC._x = 450;
} else if (_root.scrollMC._x>=500) {
_root.scrollMC._x = -45;
}


You will have to play around with the numbers to match your own movieclip.

Hope it helps
