Diagonal scrolling?

Is it possible to modify this tutorial:

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/slidingmenu.htm

to enable the buttons to scroll to a mc if the clipgeneral mc was organized like this:

OO
OO

rather than like this:

OOOO

so instead of just scrolling sidways, it would be possible to scroll both vertical and diagonaly accordingly?

Thanks.
