Hi,

The following code, when attached to the MC panTracker\_mc works as desired, passing the value of the dynamic text field with a VARIABLE name of s1Pan to s1 sound object, thus controlling the pan.

```auto

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	s1Pan = Math.round(_root._xmouse/2.5)-100;
	_root.s1.setPan(s1Pan);
}

```

This code passes the value to the textField but does not control the s1 object

```auto

panTracker_mc.onMouseMove = function() {
	panTracker_mc.s1Pan = Math.round(_root._xmouse/2.5)-100;
	_root.s1.setPan(s1Pan);
};

```
