Any Flash people here?

I've been struggling with a problem here for a few days. I need to create a row of vertical image slices that expand and push the adjacent slices to the side on mouse over. I've found a way to setup the expanding part (mask animation in movie clip), but I don't understand how to push the other clips with the mask expansion. You can see what I mean here.

I originally thought I would just animate the slices moving over (the end product will have more than two) with the mask animation, but it appears that you cannot animate other movie clips from inside a clip (each slice/animation is it's own movie clip).

Any ideas???

*EDIT*

Well, I am a bit closer after experimenting with adding an x-coordinate move to the opposite slice, but it's still not right. There's got to be an easier way to do this...
