Sliding background image in

Hi folks!

I am working on an interactive story book for kids. Please can someone tell me what is the best way to slide a new page into the background and ensure that the previous background image is destroyed so as to avoid memory bloat. I have a next page button and prev button. Clicking on either loads (slides) main background image in from left or right. I might consider other effects like fade in if it's easier.

Any help appreciated thanks!

check (search) for a thread about "jimi hendrix timeline", there's a capx I think could help

Thanks Ghost but couldn't find anything under that search.

Could you give the page a bullet behavior? When it gets within a few pixels of the edge, turn off the bullet and snap it to 0,0.

(a few pixels because when it's moving it may be jumping several pixels at a time. you woul dhave to adjust so it didn't snap backwards.)

Edit: Oh, and when you perform the snap, you also delete all the old page underneath.
