Howdy folks, I just bought Flash MX a few days ago and have since been trying to absorb everything about it. Luckily I am a previous programmer and ActionScript is coming very naturally to me.
Anyway, I am FASCINATED with the “escape the room” type games you see so often written in Flash. So much so that I sit and design loads of them on paper constantly. I’ve finally decided to get off of my butt, buy Flash, and try to make one of my own. Everything is going good so far but I’m curious as to how an effect was achieved in this game:

The game is the Crimson Room and I am sure some of you have played it. Does anyone know how he gets the camera to pan so smoothly around the room? I’m sure it’s probably simple and my feeble grasp of Flash just doesn’t get it yet…heh. Any help would be appreciated because I absolutely love the effect and would like to duplicate it in my games.
Thanks much.
