Mouse left, MC right + mouse right, MC left

Hello,

I’m trying to figure out how I can make a masked slider so that I can have dates appear and move higher and lower according to the direction the mouse is moved left+right of center. I have it working, my problem is that it keeps moving even when I don’t want it too. For an example of what I would like to do see this:

The back and forward buttons slide the images L + R, but only when you click on them. The way mine works is that it goes constantly back and forth regardless of where the mouse is. I don’t necessarily want to have to press forward and back buttons, I like the slide to happen simply by the left right movement of the mouse but HOW DO I KEEP THE SENSITIVITY ONLY IN ONE AREA INSTEAD OF THE WHOLE .SWF BEING SENSITIVE?

If you go to the “bibliography” of my site you can see what’s wrong with my approach:
