Hello

I am making a swf where there is a long image that pans left to right depending on x mouse.  
At the moment the script works fine when attached to the clip itself.  
eg.  
[size=1]onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
// pan movie clip where movie container size = 804  
cw = 804;  
// container size  
mx = \_xmouse;  
myx = \_x;  
mw = \_width;  
cf = (cw-mw)/mw;  
\_x = (mx\*(cf));  
if (myx\<-(mw-(mw/2))) {  
myx = 20;  
}  
}[/size]

I need this action to be called when i mouse over a button called ‘mc\_hit’  
The clip I want to pan is called ‘mc\_slide’.

Any assistance with this would be much appreciated  
Cheers
