Dear all,

I have seen many klik games featuring parallel scrolling backgrounds, I still don't understand how they managed to make the background scroll with the player while it is not an active object.

Can any master klikers can enlighten me?

Regards

Felix

In TGF: Use an active object

In MMF: Use a background system box, change its image, and do this:

* Always
- Background system box: Set X position to (X Left Frame / 1.5)
- Background system box: Set Y position to (Y Top Frame / 1.5)

You can of course change the coefficient (1.5 in the example above) to anything you like.

In MMF2 or TGF2: Create a separate layer where you place all backgrounds and stuff, and change the scrolling coefficient. Simple.

Cheers Axel, that really sorted things out a bit.

Just another question, for some odd reasons, all the other background objects flashes or just simply disappear while scrolling. Any ideas why?

Hmm, dunno. Can't recall that ever happening to me. Are you using MMF2?

It happens in earlier versions of MMF1/1.5, I think, but otherwise I'm not sure what could be going on.

The correct term is actually "Paralax" Background.

What Axel said should work, so I do not see why it didn't work. Could you perhaps send the file of the non-working paralax scrolling.. thing... that you were working on?

Why didn't you just zip the file? Saves space as well...

That file works just fine for me, and you can remove the borders from the System Box by giving them the color "None"

Or 'parallax' perhaps.
