Can you scroll a movieClip using the scrollH method? How is this done?

```auto

scrollBar_mc.scrollLeft.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, scrollLeft, false, 0, true);

function scrollLeft(event:MouseEvent):void {
    trace("hit");
    trace(scrollBar_mc.mcHolder.scrollH);
    scrollBar_mc.mcHolder.scrollH -= 1;
}

```
