This is a hard question to me: How do you make the background objects (not as in literally background objects, i know that they have to be active in order to do anything to them) scroll from one end of the window view to the other as you move from one end of the frame to the other? Mathematical X/Y proportions dont work for me, and i might simply need a layout bcuz i might me a bad mathematician. Otherwise, its not cutting it. In case your wondering, this is an effect seen in many games that looks as if the background were actually at a distance, and not just scrolling right along with you. Ive seen it done several times in MMF/TGF (like in the really awesome corrupted game under ABANDONED that has one level were you go around shooting zombies and fight a red thing at he end (i forget the name of the game (duh))), and i know its feasable, i just dont know how to program it! Please aid me in my quest for neat looking scrolling background effects! (no, im not new to Clickteam products, only to this site, so plz dont say something that is LUDICROUSLY obvious (unless it has obvious relevance to what im talking about )
Games currently in "the works":
Moonrise
My Fantasy (dieing dream)
Shadowed Sunset (this one will be cool)
Dragon Riders (Newer, better animated, cooler, and less gradient version!)

It has to do with the Background Object or something like that (for MMF 1.5). Ask Circy -- he's the resident God of parallax scrolling. Better yet, run a search for it. I seem to remember there being a couple of really good articles explaining how it works and how to make use of it.
