I am looking to create a similar effect to the one in this website:

http://www.timoweiland.com/

I have a large image that I would like to pan around on various button clicks and I have no idea how to begin.  Any help or a point to the right post/tutorial would really be appreciated.

Look into using the actionscript Tween class to change both _x and _y positions and _xscale and _yscale values gradually.  You might be able to find something thru Google using "AS2 Tween tutorial"

That particular site uses more than one image to achive its effect.

No problem,

What he is doing on the site you reference is just adjusting the ._x and ._y properties of his movie clip based on the mouse position.

Here is your code:

this.onEnterFrame = function() {

  myMC._x = _root._xmouse;

  myMC._y = _root._ymouse;

}

done!

What you offered will only have the movieclip following the mouse around the stage.  That is not what is going on in that site.

Thanks Ned.  I have been running through some AS2 and AS3 tweening tutorials and this seems to be

what I was after.  I appreciate your help.
