max size of sprite?
Hi,
I am helping my son to make a simple game. We want to make the background pan when a little spite walk (like al little platform game). But every bitmap I try to import scales down to 480 pixels and can't stretch out very much.
Is it possible to import bigger bitmaps (what is the max size?) to display on the stage? We are using Scratch 1.4
Thanks!

Re: max size of sprite?
It is possible to make a sprite with larger dimensions, but you must use some rather roundabout methods. One way is to right click the stage and select "grab screen region for new sprite". Then drag your mouse cursor across the whole program window (including the scripting sections.) Then edit the costume of your new sprite, clear the current paint, and import your large bitmap image.
That should give you quite a bit of room, but I don't know the maximum dimensions you can achieve.

The largest you can get is the resolution of your screen, take a bit on the Y axis
