Re: Scrolling Background - Help.

Click on  "Support" at the top of the web page and pick up the reference guide.
It will tell you what most of the things in scratch do.

Re: Scrolling Background - Help.

Try looking at the Fireworks gallery for some ideas.

The exit script for the "U" in the Karplus name project is a different approach.

I probably should not have answered this question here, as the question had nothing to do with Scrolling backgrounds.

PLEASE, everyone, start a new post when you have a new topic.  Don't hijack other people's threads!

funnydamian18,
Ask your question as a new topic with the right name.  Your question has nothing to do with "Scrolling Background".

Re: Scrolling Background - Help.

Hmmm... for those wanting to see a way to do multi-directional scrolling that is efficient, see this: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Kalininrussia1/88014 You may need to download to see the code to know what I mean.

Re: Scrolling Background - Help.

I have noticed that my 2 sprites method of scrolling has become very popular and has been used in some of the recent frontpage projects.So, I have updated my scrolling tutorial post to include a tutorial on how to implement 2 sprite scrolling  smile

Re: Scrolling Background - Help.

you can do it really easy by going onto paint make a sprite the size of the screen and put in
<when green flag clicked>
<forever if> <key[ key right arrow ]pressed?>
  <move( 10 )steps>

Re: Scrolling Background - Help.

Download the example I uploaded. Your scripts should look the same as the ones in the example.

Re: Scrolling Background - Help.

whoops never mind I found out the way to allow scratch to open it, by saving the program into my documents and opening it from scratch, instead of directly trying to open it with no program selected.

How do you do a scrolling game like the one in post 2, without as much flickering?

Re: Scrolling Background - Help.

If you scroll using a velocity it won't flicker. If you don't want it to slide just set the drag variable to something low like 0.5.

WOAH!!!! ARCHMAGE! THATS REALLY COMPLICATED!
There is a really simple way of doing it, even with multiple sprites.
