macromedia flash sitedesign : moving photos

I am trying to create a string of photos (all same size) to continually move
across the stage. I know how to create moving objects and stagger the starting
times but I want the area to be full with these 4 photos at all times. So
somehow I need to keep repeating the flow. So even if someone leaves the page
open for extended time periods, the photos will still be slowly moving across
the screen. Can someone help me out?
Thanks very much.:confused;

This link demonstrates the non-Actionscript method showing strips of 4
pictures that repeat using a manual tween of two image strip copies.

Your strips of images can be longer than 4 pictures but you have to
avoid going out further than 2880 pixels (the Flash limit).
To do longer image strips that are wider than 2880 pixels or that will
go off stage farther than that requires Actionscript as in these
examples..

Those examples respond to mouse movement but it is easy enough to have
the images just keep scrolling on their own.
MX sourcecode is there (version 6)

just make the last image GOTO the frame that you want to start with using
action script. That will allow it to repeat indefinitely. IE use "goto
frame 5" if the first image starts at 5.
