One way to do this is to group the image (select it and choose "Group" from
the Objects menu) and set the group's hScroll property according to your
requirements. You can scroll a group by setting its hScroll and vScroll
properties, even if the group doesn't have visible scrollbars.
In this case, after grouping the image, you would set the new group's
lockLoc property to true (to prevent the group automatically resizing
itself to fit the image's full size) and set its width to 33 to display
only the width you want. The script to switch between halves would go into
the group and look like this:
on mouseDown -- assuming you want to click to switch
if the hScroll of me is zero then set the hScroll of me to 33
else set the hScroll of me to zero
end mouseDown
