scrollable-like navigation of images in a group-object

[Mark Schonewille]

Nicolas,

You might simply try to grab command, if all you want to do under (2)  
is to move the image around. Set the lockLoc of the group to true and  
the image will just move inside the group. I'm not sure what happens  
of the user manages to drag far enough to move the image entirely off- 
screen.

You could also use a repeat loop, which sets the loc of the image to a  
value dependent on the mouseLoc.

Personally, I would change the vScroll and hScroll of the group while  
the user moves the mouse over the image while pressing the mouse  
button. You don't need to dislplay scroll bars for this.
