I know I've seen this before somewhere but I can't find it now... Can anyone tell me how I would make clouds in the sky scroll across the screen then rap around properly? I can't get it to work without it looking really really choppy...
The above post most likely bored you.

If the clouds are large just compare their x positions, and when they get past the left or right hand side of the frame, set them back to the opposite side.
Using the wrap option usually just looks jumpier the larger the object is.

There are several ways to do this.
Method 1: Set the hotspot to the middle of the cloud and then:
Always >> Set Cloud X position to X("Cloud") - 1 (or 2 or whatever)
Cloud X < -(half of cloud width) >> Set X position of Cloud to Frame width + (half of cloud width)
Method 2: Set the Cloud to a bouncing ball movement, and put the initial direction only to the left (or right, or whichever direction), then do this again:
Cloud X < -(half of cloud width) >> Set X position of Cloud to Frame width + (half of cloud width)
Method 3: Set the cloud to a path movement that crosses the screen and click the button that says something like, "reposition object at end." It looks like an arrow running into another smaller arrow.
EDIT: Whoops, Adam beat me.
