Panning Menu Help!

Hi guys/girls…

Im new here and really looking to build up a flash portfolio for myself… I have a few ideas i cant seem to execute so im praying you guys can help me out…

Ive followed this tutorial: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/interactive_image_pan.htm

And that is the sort of panning i want in my menu (except possibly to pan in the opposite direction to which it pans in the tutorial) I also wanted to know how i could turn that pan into a menu for instance i have links across the movieclip thats being panned, but when i try to hover over them the pan pushes the opposite direction?

Any tutorials someone can link me to or answers to achieve what im after? Any help would be greatly appreciated
