Scrolling Limit?

Okay so i want to create a sprite that is larger than the screen window. It is going to play the role as a menu that scrolls from left to right on touch. I have followed this Tutorial https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/560/sw ... tia?page=3

It was great and works fine the only thing is that i want part of mine off screen therefore got rid of bound to layout. I want to be able to scroll 500 off the screen to the left and 500 off the screen to the right as I don'n want all the options visible on the screen at one time. How can I do this?

Note: I am only using the X axis.

The image below should help explain what I mean

THANKS

We do this with our galaxy.

You have to do some kind of debug Text object (that is on a 0 scale/0,0 parallax layer) then have it Text: Set Text: scrollBarBackground.X

That way, you can determine exactly which X-coordinate you need to tell it to stop at.

Then, you simply have an event like:

Compare two parameters:

scrollBarBackground.X < minX

-----scrollBarBackground: Set X to minX

and

Compare two parameters:

scrollBarBackground.X > maxX

-----scrollBarBackground: Set X to maxX

Make sure you Pin any subsidiary objects to the scollBarBackground.

gumshoe2029 I'm quite confused on the first part. I've never used anything like that before. Is there any way you can show me?
