var sd:Number;
var sr:Number;
var cd:Number;
var cr:Number;
var new_y:Number;
var drag_area:Rectangle;

var flashmo_content:MovieClip;
var flashmo_content_area:MovieClip;
var scrolling_speed:Number; // 0.00 to 1.00

function scrolling( ct:String, ct_area:String, speed:Number ):void
{
scrolling_speed = speed;
if( scrolling_speed 1 ) scrolling_speed = 0.50;

flashmo_content = parent[ct];
flashmo_content_area = parent[ct_area];

flashmo_content.mask = flashmo_content_area;
flashmo_content.x = flashmo_content_area.x;
flashmo_content.y = flashmo_content_area.y;

flashmo_scroller.x = flashmo_scrollable_area.x;
flashmo_scroller.y = flashmo_scrollable_area.y;

sr = flashmo_content_area.width / flashmo_content.width;
//flashmo_scroller.height = flashmo_scrollable_area.height * sr;

sd = flashmo_scrollable_area.width – flashmo_scroller.width;
cd = flashmo_content.width – flashmo_content_area.width;
cr = cd / sd * 1.01;

drag_area = new Rectangle(0, 0, 0, flashmo_scrollable_area.width – flashmo_scroller.width);

if ( flashmo_content.width <= flashmo_content_area.width )
{
flashmo_scroller.visible = flashmo_scrollable_area.visible = false;
}else{
flashmo_scroller.visible = flashmo_scrollable_area.visible = true;
}

flashmo_scroller.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, scroller_drag );
flashmo_scroller.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, scroller_drop );
this.addEventListener( Event.ENTER_FRAME, on_scroll );
}
function scroller_drag( me:MouseEvent ):void
{
me.target.startDrag(false, drag_area);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, up);
}
function scroller_drop( me:MouseEvent ):void
{
me.target.stopDrag();
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, up);
}
function up( me:MouseEvent ):void
{
flashmo_scroller.stopDrag();
}
function on_scroll( e:Event ):void
{
new_y = flashmo_content_area.x + flashmo_scrollable_area.x * cr – flashmo_scroller.x * cr;
flashmo_content.x += ( new_y – flashmo_content.x ) * scrolling_speed;
}

I have made a scroll class too. Verify in http://blog.ramonfritsch.com/t/scroll
