Flash 8 Sliding thumbnails

Hi

Can any one help me understand why this code isnt working…

I followed a video tutorial rigouroulsy but i cant get the thumbnails to slide

panel being the instance name of the thumbnails movie clip
*stroke *being the name of the bounding movie clip

panel.onRollOver = panelOver;

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

var b = stroke.getBounds(thumbs);function scrollPanel() {
if (_xmouse<b.xmin || _xmouse>b.xmax || _ymouse<b.ymin || _ymouse>b.ymax)
this.onRollOver = panelOver;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}

if(panel._x &gt;= 13) {
    panel._x = 13;
}
    
if(panel._x &lt;= -3233) {
    panel._x = -3233;
}

var xdist = _xmouse - 246.6;

panel._x += -xdist / 7;

the guy in the video was working in MX and i have flash 8 is that a problem?
