[Flash MX 2004]

I am trying to do a circular scroll. Please view attached gif for a mockup. I am not sure how to go about it, can someone point me in the right direction.

Thanks,  
Kim

I tried adding an image in the background that would spin with the scroller. See the attached Gif. But I could not get it to work.Help again? Or is there a tutorial out there where I can learn more?
