Hopefully it will fit in my inbox, I only haev like 50% space left, so ift he file is too big, it might not go through.

If that happens, do you have a spot to upload it where I can download it from. Then you can send me a link in a PM or e-mail.

PS: I won’t be able to send it back to you. I will try and fix it, but since I use MX and you use 5, you will not be able to open my file.

What I am planning to do is to reply back here with a step by step fix to your problem so you can fix it on your end.

Yeah, I can see.

One question… did you assign Instance names to your movie clip so the buttons knew what to move?

Yeah, I am getting it to work on my end, I will just write up a quick tutorial.

My gallery is one frame long, the pictures all reside in one movie clip and then there are 2 buttons.

</div>

Ok…

Step 1…

On frame one of the main timeline add this to the frame…

```auto
speed=5

```

This will let you modify the speed your clip scrolls at.

Step 2…

Now line up all the picture you want in your gallery in the order you want. Select them all at once (use the arrow tool and hold the shift key on your keyboard and select each image) and hit F8 to convert that into a movieClip symbol.

Right click on this movie clip and add these actions…

```auto
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (_root.moveLeft) {
		this._x -= _root.speed;
	}
	if (_root.moveRight) {
		this._x += _root.speed;
	}
}

```

Step 3…

Now to create your buttons. Create your button to move the clip to the left (your left). Add these actions to that button…

```auto
on (rollOver) {
	moveLeft = true;
}
on (rollOut) {
	moveLeft = false;
}

```

Now create your button to move the clip to the right (your right). Add these actions to that button…

```auto
on (rollOver) {
	moveRight = true;
}
on (rollOut) {
	moveRight = false;
}

```

That is all there is to it. Easy as 1,2,3 🙂

</div>

I am glad I could help you out.

To constrain it, change the code on the movie clip to something like this…

```auto
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (_root.moveLeft) {
		this._x -= _root.speed;
		if (this._x<=175) {
			this._x = 175;
		}
	}
	if (_root.moveRight) {
		this._x += _root.speed;
		if (this._x>=325) {
			this._x = 325;
		}
	}
}

```

Change the numbers to fit your movie. That will keep it from scrolling to the point of no return.
