Hi, I am a newbie to flash, so I appologize if this is a stupid question.

I am trying to create something similar to [THIS](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/menu_with_slider.htm) but in flash MX - the difference being that instead of a slider moving through the buttons, the entire background moves horizontally into position according to whatever button is selected. I have five buttons and one large jpeg divided into five segments that relate accordingly.

again, i’m new to actionscript and i am using an earlier version of flash, but any help or advice on how to successfully achieve this (or if it cannot be done) would be appreciated.

thanks in advance! 🙂
