If you had a pan right button in the main timeline, its instance script might

read something like:

if your pair of tweened pano instances movieclip have an instance name of

myPairOfTweenedPanosInstance and that instance is on the main timeline...

On (Press)

      Begin Tell Target ("/myPairOfTweenedPanosInstance")

            Go to and Stop (_currentframe+1)

      End Tell Target

End On


Actually, this script needs to be in a looping frame so your button controller

gets continuos feedback and keeps the pano panning. And, depending on your pano

size, desired smoothness and speed of panning, you need to fine tune the spacing

of keyframes in your tweened pano MC.


If the right or left pan button is clicked, I would also set a flag so that the

tweened pano MC can make a decision to go to frame 1 or 199 from frame 200, (and

to frame 2 or 200 from frame 1) depending on which button is down.

Should work. Works for me. Is the link go to targeting the right timeline? I

reckon you made sure its instance script has a mouse press or released script???



There also exists a step-by-step tutorial for this on one or more of the Flash

tutorial sites like Colin Mock's and FlashLite, but I don't remember exactly

where.hth
