Horizontal Scrolling Flash Movie

Hi- I have been working to learn Flash, and I recently started looking for a tutorial on how to create an "endless" scrolling gallery of images. It doesn't need to be interactive, just scroll slowly through the images, and then repeat without seeming to end. The closest thing I found was a tutorial that scrolled depending on where the mouse was in reference to a certain point on the movie. http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/infinite.htm
Is there a way to modify this so that it will scroll "endlessly" on its own?

Ok, I have one more question in regards to this movie - I got it to work once, and now I can't get it to scroll again. I get 2 errors, and it doesn't move when I preview publish it... Did I mess up the code somewhere? I tried to upload the file so you could see it, but it isn't an allowed extension...here is the internet location...

just looked at your web page and the scrolling is working fine..
you may be looking at a cached version so clear out your temp files.
if you still have problems you can post the file here..just give it a .txt extension..eg..
myMovie.fla.txt

Ah! You are correct...YAY!  
Does this file translate as easily into the same thing except vertical? And is it possible to click on the movie and go to another .html page?

onClipEvent (load){
   speed=1/100;  }
onClipEvent (enterFrame){
   var distance=100;
   _y+=(distance*speed);
   if (_y > 0) _x=-1469;      //120x6  
   if (_y < -1469) _x=0;      //same
}

yes it will go vertically and to make it clickable put a hotspot button over the top of all the images inside the swf..a hotspot button just has the HIT area defined and appears as a turquoise shape in authoring so you can position it..it turns invisible when the swf is run
