Never ending menu

[infernoapbts]

I am trying to make a menu that scrolls left when the mouse is to the left of center, and right when it is right of center. The menu is a movie clip that is 1000 px wied by 90px high. I duplicated the movie and placed the second one at the end of the first, then made it one larger movie. here is the script im using:
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
onClipEvent (load)
{
xcenter=375;
speed=1/10;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
var distance=_root._xmouse-xcenter;
_x+=(distance*speed);
}
{
var distance=_root._xmouse-xcenter;
_x+=(distance*speed);
if (_x > 0) _x=-1000;
if (_x < -1000) _x=0;
}
the problem is i can't get it to seem like an endless clip. there are breaks between them as they scroll by. can someone kindly help me with what I am missing?

many thanks

There are several things wrong with the code you posted. Did you mis-paste? Can you possibly post your fla? frozenpeas

onClipEvent (load) {
xcenter = 375;
speed = 1/10;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var distance = _root._xmouse-xcenter;
_x += (distance*speed);
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var distance = _root._xmouse-xcenter;
_x += (distance*speed);
if (_x>0) {
_x = -1000;
}
if (_x<-1000) {
_x = 0;
}
