Hi all,

I have seen plenty examples of panning an image in flash. But the examples I found were never quite right. I have an image loaded into a movieclip, which is inside a main movieclip.

I want to scroll (horizontally or vertically) the movieclip (which holds the image) based on how far the mouse pointer moves - but only within the range of the main movieclip borders.

Get what I mean? Like the map is on this site: [http://www.nec.com/](http://www.nec.com/) - Hint - wait for globe to stop spinning!

So, if anyone has any handy script lying around, please enlighten me!

BTW - Flash MX 2004.

thanks very much,

KS
