Is it possible at all? I have tried to put it to movie clip and it doesn’t work so I’d like to. It’s fine until I add borders where scroll is active. When I move cursor up and down, to move up or down, then it won’t work properly… Like lag or something.

This is the code I am using:

```auto

panel.onRollOver = panelOver;

function panelOver() {
    this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;
    delete this.onRollOver;
}

var b = stroke.getBounds(_root);

function scrollPanel() {
    if(_xmouse<b.xMin || _xmouse>b.xMax || _ymouse<b.yMin || _ymouse>b.yMax) {
        this.onRollOver = panelOver;
        delete this.onEnterFrame;
    }
    
    if(panel._x >= 89) {
        panel._x = 89;
    }
    
    if(panel._x <= -751) {
        panel._x = -751;
    }
    
    var xdist = _xmouse - 250;
    
    panel._x += Math.round(-xdist / 7);
}

```
