transitions

I've worked a little bit with masks in AS3 but I'm not sure how I can do this with masks.

I have two swf files that I have imported onto the Library as MC's with class names.

One of the files is the start image and the other is the end image. The transition is a slide transition from the start image to the end image. You can think of the transition like in this example.

But is it possible to do a slide transition like this using two swf's and "slide transitioning" between them?
