A menu with a scrolling background?

[r2builder]

Hi there, I'm having problems with what may seem like a simple menu idea, so I'd be glad if anyone could help.
I'd like to have say 4 floating link buttons constantly in the same position at the bottom of the page, but when you click on the link then the background would slide along to a desired section.
I found it hard. I'm stuck, as I don't know what to do if the user is on Section 1, and wants to go to say section 3. That means that when the background slides along, you'd see section 2 momentarily.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about, or indeed how to do this in Flash? Any tutorials or advice would be appreciated, as this is gonna be a site for my Higher Art project.
Thanks!

A tip is to check out this sites movies section "navigation" for scrolling images or scrolling menu.

OK thanks for that. So far I've got:
http://www.fanfilms.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/thing.swf

It still looks rough, I'll make it look sweet later. For now I'm just concerned about the actual workings of it.
I'd like to use the effect on http://www.icecubemusic.com/ where once you get to the desired section, a text box pops up ontop of your floating background.
Would this be an action of the linking button? Or a "When Frame Loaded..."
see the .fla at http://www.fanfilms.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/thing.fla
if anyone could help in any way, it'd be greatly appreciated.

The textbox pops up when the MC has stopped at its _x position, determined by the button.

So you have to use an IF statement to check when the MC gets there and is still.

Its much easier to have the textbox popup when you click the button. For instance have a movieclip with the content, set visiblity to 0 and with the button set visibility to 1 (visible).

on(release){
myMC._visible=1;
}

Thanks for the help!
It really does need to be when the background stops scrolling though, so I've tried to search various action scripts but I got stuck.
So far, I've got:

on (release) { if backgroundMC IS AT X=320, Y=200 AND IS STILL) {page1MC._visible=1;}else {page1MC._visible=0;}}

Can someone fill in the
"{ if FILMSTRIP IS AT X=320, Y=200 AND IS STILL)"
part please?
Aargh, I'm pulling out my hair!
Thanks a lot!
