Please Help!
I'm trying to make a scrolling game with this by Liquidmetal: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/LiquidMetal/1920486 . I'm trying to make it so that some parts are outlined with black, so you know you can't get in...but how do I stop the sprite from going into these places? Please reply!

Re: Please Help!
No problem. Oh, and for more information: I made it change scrollx by -4 which counteracts the scrollx by 2 before it. In a non-scroller, this could be a perfect counter-action and it would look better, but since there is a slight delay in scrollers, I thought that doubling the original move would be safer. You could try making it scrollx by -2 instead of -4 and it may look better, or you could get stuck in a wall.

That's a problem that's more tricky than it looks. I have a maze game in my stuff that trys to do that and I never can quite get all the bugs out of it.
