Stage Size.

I would like to make a game in scratch, unfortunately the backgrounds that I would like for the game are far too extensive to be held in a 480X360 pixel space and would therefore just look childish. My question is this,

Is it Possible, to make the stage/backgrounds bigger so that more complex scenarios can be made? Or is this the limit that Scratch has, because if it is, I would be highly disappointed.

yes this is the limit although there are some possible solutions:
1. see if someone could make a scratch mos with a larger stage
2. use scrolling
3. scale it down using GIMP

Re: Stage Size.

A) How do I use scrolling
B) Scaling something down would lost the quality
C) What's a Scratch MOS?

I believe they meant mod instead of mos, a mod is a modified version of to the program.

The basics to scrolling can be found here: http://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/Scrolling , a good way to learn scrolling is to use those basics, play around with it to become comfortable with the scripts, then adapt it to suit your needs.
