  You can get the same effect without the warmup time by just positioning the tiledBg's in you layout and setting their speed. Then replace all your events with one every tick event:

  Every tick

  set x to self.x%50-50

  Change the 50s to whatever the texture width is.

  Ive been doing this, but i find that the width/height of the texture doesnt work, just some obscure number i have to take a long time guessing (im sure its related somehow, any idea?)

  Here for instance. im doing it with height instead of width and the only number that works seemlessly is 130, which doesnt seem to have anything to do with the height. ?

  Here is the capx

  thanks for your time.

  im usualy ok, ill make the width of the tile 50000 if i have to , but that has to be effecting performance.

  This game here has about 10 layers, all with width of 50000 :P

  I know Adam (englishacorn) has a cool way of doing it, but i dont completely get it . Saying that i dont get half my own things.

  Wow!!, i shall study this and try understand it , i get myself in some real messes with this :P

  Great response.

  I was trying to explain this in church earlier using bricks in the wall lol. Someone thought it was going down half a second for every 10 pixels added or something.

  Thanks for the time.

  ive made my own little parallax system (i find it easier to learn that way )

  But i cant work out the maths.

  I have a 200 width tile passing through a 100 width layout at 40 pixels a second, and this takes 2.5 seconds.

  As youl see in the capx ive managed to get myself into numbers such as 0.828 seconds (when the speed is 60) .

  Whats the maths behind this so i can easily calculate this when i need it .

  Phew

  have some basic touch controls on my game but every time the touch is released the character goes to the top right corner. Any one have any idea why ? Im sure its pretty straight forward, but ive tried save x and y to variables and loading them everytime the object isnt in touch, that doesnt work.

  Thanks :) i plan to do justice to, at the very least, thunderforce 2.

  I have an old Yamaha synth not far off the original sega megadrive chip so im excited to get on that as soon as i get some solid gameplay and some kind of a shop system to spend xp or whatever.

  backdrops will be exciting to see, make sure you get some shiny foreground parallax in there;)
