In my research for new ideas and inspirations, I came across this website. There is a screen in which the user can “drag” the car and change the movieclip according to the drag’s direction. How is this done? Is it similiar to making a mouseover effect? Can anyone show me an actionscript?

They have a series of frames in a movieclip with the background color transforming and the car rotating. Then they calculate which frame to go to based on the relative \_xmouse position of the entire site.
