I am trying to dupicate the effect at the bottom of the [bacardi.com](http://bacardi.com) site.

There is a scrolling movie that stops once you mouse over it

I have spent some time messing with the f5\_scrollbar\_animation.fla movie from this site but can’t seem to find the right spot for handlers. What I would like the movie to do is scroll on it’s own without taking the mouse movement into account (easy to do just remove the [\_root.xmouse] from

[this.\_x += (\_root.\_xmouse - 320)\*percent\_increment;] and it just scrolls. What I can’t seem to do is figure out how to get it to stop scrolling on a mouse click.

I have tried using hte [onClipEvent(mouseDown)] event but it isn’t working. This might be due the fact I am starting the scrolling with a onClipEvent(enterFrame) but I am not sure.

Could anyone point me to a tutorial that might help or make some suggestions on how to get the f5\_scrollbar\_animation.fla movie to scroll on it’s own and stop with a mouse down (really want a mouse over like the [bacardi.com](http://bacardi.com) site).

Thanks and sorry if that is horrible unclear 🙂

Peace,
