Under rating threshold (show) I got it working for the most part but I got one major error......If I move my ship right the ship goes right but the camera goes left...if I go left camera goes right and ship goes left?

Under rating threshold (show) Why did the ship movieclip have to be registered with the dot in the middle but the background has the dot registered at the top left. What does that do?

Under rating threshold (show) Well I got it by setting _x = 4220; Which doesn't make sense, since that should send it 4220 pixels in front of my ship, but oh well, it's working so I'll work on figuring that out later.

Under rating threshold (show) For some reason I can not get a seamless loop. When I set if (_x < -2110) { _x = 0; } It sill waits till it gets to the end of the backround before resetting. I even tried putting 4 backrounds next to each other, so it continues to 8440 pixles, but it still does not reset at 2110. It scrolls through the whole backround getting to the end and going blank before resetting _x = 0; no matter how I try and tweak it.

Under rating threshold (show) k I figured it out, the picture wasn't lined up when I converted it into a movieclip. I deleted it and converted it again and that fixed it. Still curious if you can fix it without deleting it though.....

Under rating threshold (show) Hey I have a minor problem, when I position the background so that the left edge is on the left edge of the stage, the x and y coordinates aren't 0....I can compensate for this in the code, but I find it kind of annoying, is there a way to fix this? I'm pretty sure I chose top left for the register....

Under rating threshold (show) Here's a quick upgrade to the code that will make the background a bit more interactive. Just make sure to move the background down a few pixels first (you'll see why): class background extends MovieClip { function onEnterFrame() { _X -= 2 if (_x < -2110){ _x = 0 } if (Key.isDown (Key.RIGHT)){_x -= 3 } if (Key.isDown (Key.LEFT)){_x -= 1} if (Key.isDown (Key.UP)){_y += 1} if (Key.isDown (Key.DOWN)){_y -= 1} } }

Under rating threshold (show) To those whose backgrounds don't scroll: When you first set the background as a symbol, did you move the registration to the top left corner? The center is the default, and it's wrong. Redo the symbolizing but make sure that when you see the 3x3 grid of tiny squares, the top left is black. If not, click it. When you copied the background image, did you do it right? Make SURE you followed page eight (step 1) very closely. Simply adding another instance of Background doesn't work, for some reason. Hope this helps!

Under rating threshold (show) Also, i am trying to make it use WASD in stead of the arrow keys, i know, that was last shootorial but i dont care. Instead of the "LEFT" keycode, i put A, but it doesn't work, says "A is not a valid keycode" and doesnt work. What ore the keycodes for letters? KEYW? KEYA? or just W? A?

Under rating threshold (show) okay, i've been doing well in all fo the other shootorials except this. First: I have CS5.5 because CS3 is old and cant be downloaded anymore, and i think that might be a cause to my troubles My problems are: My background moves with my ship. I press left, it goes left too, press up, it goes up too etc. It still scrolls but it also follows my ship. Second, I cant get the Background to get the seamless Background, it gets the white area on the left of the screen after the picture is done. I did all the things the tutorial said, but as i said, i have CS5.5 so i think thats the problem.

Under rating threshold (show) not being able to understand the codes in this tutorial, you won't be able to troubleshoot your way out of your problem, make your own background make your own ship don't use the same width and height and you will find yourself troubleshooting and learning at the same time.

Under rating threshold (show) I got all the way through frame 5 of the tutorial, and when I tested the movie as suggested my ship flew to the left instead of the background. I still have full control of the ship with the arrow keys, though. I'm sure there's something I've missed or not done right, but for the life of me I can't figure out what it is. The code that I have is exactly the same as in the tutorial. Can anybody help me?

Under rating threshold (show) Ok, fixed the ALL (ship and background) moving stuff. My error was a question of hierachy. Layer1 -> ship /background (both inside layer1). The right way is 2 DIFFERENT Layers from the root and NOT both Inside the Root. In case of doubt, click on the Scene 1 title if u see only 1 layer ... thats the problem, u need to see 2 layers (ship and background) as unique items.

Under rating threshold (show) ploopy if your ship lags try increasing/decreasing fps. too high can cause lag and too slow can make your ship jump from place to place and appear laggy while not being laggy
