Have a look at this:

[http://www.karajan.org/de/biography/chronology/index.asp](http://www.karajan.org/de/biography/chronology/index.asp)

I’m _desperately_ trying to devise something similiar to this for a site I’m working on. I see two main elements to the movie:  
1)The mouse-to-centre-of-movie-width (making it change direction)  
2) The on-click that produces a seperate image with text.

```
 I've made the connection that the actionscript is close to what you'd find on a panorama swf, so I've tried to learn that way. However the ones I've seen so far have rather sloppy code so it's hard to make anything out.

```

I do NOT WANT someone to tell me **how** to make something like this, I just want to know if there are any tut’s that you may know of that would point me in the right direction. Flashkit’s not showing any listings (either that, or I don’t know what to call it!)

Any help would be appreciated.  
Thanks!

Hello,

I don’t know if this will help you, but it looks like a good tutorial.

Pom, I’d still like to read your explanations on this one. I’m sure there are many ways to do these things, and I’d love to hear yours. 🙂
