Left and right scroll to and stop with buttons?

[loosecanon]

I'm pretty new to actionscript and have a problem:

I'm putting together a Web site and in the body I have filmStrip_mc movie clip that I want to scroll (left or right) to a specific point on an onRelease event.

For example; when the 'contact us' button is clicked, the filmStrip_mc movie clip scrolls past 'products', and 'about us', and stops at 'contact'.

I also, of course, want the movie clip to scroll to any previous page selected.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks

Yes, that is exactly what I'm looking for. The first file I cannot open (.swi = Flash CS3 file?) Unfortunately, I cannot make any of the other three work. The second one seems mind-bogglingly simple; use the registration point of the movie clip symbol but, when I try it in my movie clip, it does not work.

Am I missing some code somewhere?

I've attached my .fla file. Can someone tell me where I've gone wrong?

Thanks,

First off, the maximum width or height of a movie clip is +/-2880 pixels, and thus your filmStrip_mc's width is way over that...

Next, you need a moving script on the filmStrip_mc, which is missing...
Buttons set the targeted x coordinates, but some script has to move the mc...

Hmm...
...that's unfortunate, but explains alot.
Now I need to figure out a way to get the same effect with smaller clip.
As for the moving script that's kinda' what I meant when I asked if I was missing something.
In the Barney Scroll example I mentioned (the second link you posted), the only code in the actions frames is:
targetx = 150;
May be a bit over my head here...

OK, how about this:
I originally tried doing this animation with tweens (see attached) and the whole mc loops. The problem I see is that stop actions at the end of each label will kill the desired effect.

I'm so bad at this, I don't even know how to code the btnProducts_mc to goToAndPlay ("products");

This is closer to what I had in mind... Tweens are a bit outdated for this kind of scrolling...

In this case all the code is on the sliding pages mc itself...

Well, you certainly rid me of my hardship!

Very much appreciated!
