Interactive Image Panning within a Mask

Question

Hey guys thanks for the help so far. The last piece to the
puzzle for me is figuring out how to scroll a movie clip within a
mask. I'm currently working with the script taken from the
Interactive Image Panning tutorial on kirupa.com as a base. Right
now the script references the entire Stage area for scrolling the
image whereas I want this to happen just within a mask. How do I
set this up. Here is where I have the script right now:
this.onMouseMove = function() {
constrainedMove(Work_placeholder, 4, 1);
function constrainedMove(target:MovieClip, speed:Number,
dir:Number) {
var mousePercent:Number = _xmouse/Stage.height;
var mSpeed:Number;
if (dir == 1) {
mSpeed = 1-mousePercent;
} else {
mSpeed = mousePercent;
target.destY =
Math.round(-((target._height-Stage.height)*mSpeed));
target.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (target._y == target.destY) {
delete target.onEnterFrame;
} else {
target._y += Math.ceil((target.destY-target._y)*(speed/100));
ps. the instance name of my mask is Work_mask (movie
clip)

ok note sure if i got what your saying but il give it a try.
you have a background image and a mask made up of 72 squares
(1 symbol, 72 instance of that 1)
if thats right. i just tried it also all i is 1 box working.
mainly cause there symbols. so how do you do 72 easy make it 1
symbol but not the easy way your ganna have to make it the long way
ill try to help...
go from the stage into the mask symbol so you can see the
background image. now instead of having 72 instances just copy
frames and make 72 layers then move them to fill screen. making
your checked desolve look possible.
if thats not what your looking for please put more info so
someone else or i can help thanks..
