The maths behind the scrolling is really easy: all you need to do is know the position that your menu is at now; the position you want it to get to and the speed you want it to move at.


Here's the idea applied to a moving clip...


onClipEvent(enterFrame){
//how far is the clip from the target?
difference=target-_x;

//set the speed of the scroll
difference=difference/speed;

//move the clip
_x+=difference;
}

For a simple version of a menu similar to Motown's you just need a single large clip for the menu items the position of which is controlled by a series of buttons each of which set "target" to a new value.
