I am hoping to figure out how to have the panorama image scrolling before the mouseMove in order to attract the viewer attention to it’s interactive qualities. Is that possible with the method below?

```auto
this.onMouseMove = function() {
    constrainedMove(bg_mc, 4, 1);
};
function constrainedMove(target:MovieClip, speed:Number, dir:Number) {
    var mousePercent:Number = _xmouse/Stage.width;
    var mSpeed:Number;
    if (dir == 1) {
        mSpeed = 1-mousePercent;
    } else {
        mSpeed = mousePercent;
    }
    target.destX = Math.round(-((target._width-Stage.width)*mSpeed));
    target.onEnterFrame = function() {
        if (target._x == target.destX) {
            delete target.onEnterFrame;
        } else if (target._x>target.destX) {
            target._x -= Math.ceil((target._x-target.destX)*(speed/100));
        } else if (target._x<target.destX) {
            target._x += Math.ceil((target.destX-target._x)*(speed/100));
        }
    };
}

```
