I am trying to create a scrolling or parallex background for my site. This is a pretty popular effect and I cannot find code for it anywhere on the web. The ones I have seen is for AS2, have used the if statement. Also, do I have to create an invisible movieclip that goes over the whole stage so that AS know where x of mouse is?

View 6 RepliesI'm trying to create a endlessly scrolling bitmap background. I want to make it as efficient as possible as there is plenty of other game logic going on too. The idea is to have a repeatable bitmap scroll horizontally on an endless loop, which can obviously be achieved by placing two sprites of the same bitmap next to each other and offsetting one when it reaches the far left boundary. I was wondering if there is perhaps a faster more efficient way to do this, perhaps using scrollRect or copyPixels? If anyone has any idea which method would be fastest,

Ok i have been looking at a racing game and have used the tutorial from this link here:[URL]...What i am having trouble with is trying to create a scrolling background whilst keeping the car static in the centre of the screen. Ane example of what im trying to do is here:[URL]...So i have tried incorporating the code from that scrolling background example, into the car racing game itself but i am having trouble doing so. Is there any way that the code used from the scrolling background can be input into the racing game example to create this scrolling background effect?
View 1 RepliesI have converted a large background image (much larger than the stage) into a Movie Clip. I did this so I can make it scroll as the player traverses to the edge of the scene.This appears to make the player free to roam the entire background image.I have a tree symbol with a class attached to it that blocks player movement.Here is my problem:
When I drag and drop instances of the tree symbol onto the background, the trees are stationary and do not scroll with the background.I do not want to have to implement code to make the trees scroll when the background does.I was wondering if there was a way to simply attach the trees to the background so that if the background moves, the trees move with it and appear to be part of the background as if they were drawn into it.It is convenient for me to be able to drag and drop as many trees as i need to block certain routes on the background from the player.I tried writing code to make the trees move but it was only working for the very last tree that I added to the scene.

I am trying to make a flash movie that will always be fullscreen on the horizontal at 1024x768 and at widescreen 1400x768. the site is called [URL] You will see that the movie slides along fine, but at different size screens it just doesnt quite fit right. I was also looking at making the movie less responsive to the mouse, say the closer the mouse gets to the edge of screen the faster it scrolls, and make sure that the image never scrolls past where it should and just reach the border of the image on either side. Is this possible?

Im trying to animate a scrolling background which is simple enough. I dont want the background animation to scroll when the game is first loaded, I only want it to begin scrolling after the play button is clicked.
Ive used stop(); command in the first line of the MovieClip instance that is the back ground.
Some things I have tried
- Coding in flash to scroll the background, add a check to see once the background reached a certain x.position on the stage, it would addChild the same instance, where it originally was located and repeat the scroll process. I couldnt get this work, but would be intersted to see how you guys would approach it.
-Tried using a gotoAndPlay(2); in the movieclip last key frame to repeat the process. This causes the animation to chop up. I tried using this several diffrent ways, I could get it work at one point. But the background would scroll before the button was even clicked, I couldnt figure out a work around.
I'm trying to stop my back groun from scrolling when it reaches end of the back ground .it's not working....
var sceneTwo:Number = sceneTwoSprite.width-stage.stageWidth; var negate1:Number = Math.abs(sceneTwoSprite.x); var difference2:Number = Math.abs(sceneTwo);
if ((sceneTwoSprite.x)+sceneTwoSprite.width <= stage.stageWidth) {
sceneTwoSprite.x == stage.stageWidth + difference2; }

Otherwise it is working all good, but I'd like it to stay put at the start. Right now it immidiately starts scrolling to right unless I move the mouse on top to stop it. So ye, i need to have it sitting still and only scroll when the mouse is at the edges of the document.
I'm trying to create a scrolling game in as3. The problem I'm having is how to make things like explosions and rockets firing from the ground at the player object to scroll with the background instead of staying stationery with the player object during the game. Does anyone know a simple method to keep the explosions and other stuff not connected with the player object, to stay scrolling with the background?

The problem is I can go too far "up" and my background slowly reveals the white stage beneath it.Is there a way to set a parameter or restriction on this image that once the top side of it hits the top of my stage it can no longer continue moving down?
