How do I Set Speed Of Platformer

Hello Everyone,

I have a platformer that I want to move at the speed of an objects width. Sort of like and analog stick. So the wider the object the faster the platfomer will move. I have included a CAPX with a technique I ended up getting to half work but its weaksauce. It seems soooo easy but I am having trouble making this work. Any help would be appreciated.

CAPX FILE HERE!

Thanks Constructors!

I think you are wrong in setting max speed to imagewidth - imagewidth is the original size of the tile. Try using abs( tiledbackground.width)

Here you go.

It's not easy because you have to take into account the moving position of Mouse.X (as the screen scrolls the X becomes greater).
