Thank you Kyatric. :)

How can I 'position' the 'scroll view' center on screen?

I have the player automatically moving to the right, I want the view to scroll with the player but I want the player to be constantly about a 3rd of the way in from the left hand side of the view, like this:

and not in the middle. Could anyone point me in the right direction? <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Guide has been updated. :)

Preview not working for me either, FireFox 7. Keeps telling me "There is nothing to preview".

I have a large level with the player being a bouncing ball, I would like to center the view on the player as he moves around the level. Now I know about Scroll to object but that follows the movement of the bouncing ball and 'bounces' the level while keeping the player steady, nice effect but not what I'm after. I can keep the player centralized in either the horizontal direction (Set scroll X to player.x) or vertical direction Set scroll Y to player.y) but if I use both it's exactly like using the Scroll to object.

So...

How do I keep a bouncing sprite centralized while moving around a large level without bouncing the level?

Brilliant kastas, that's exactly what I was after! Thanks.

This awesome, thank you! A few things I've noticed

Or just right-click on the group title and add sub-event. <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Now this is very interesting... <img src="smileys/smiley23.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Thanks Wink but that's not quite what I mean. I want to stop the player bouncing off the sides of the platforms, not the edges of the layout as it will be a big level which the player can bounce around.

Have a go here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2485349/Bounder/index.html and try to bounce up the steps and you'll see what I mean. :)

I wish you luck with the book Fimbul but would appreciate you starting your own thread about it. :)

The player is a continuous bouncing ball which can be moved left & right over platforms (think Mario Bros.) using the Bullet behaviour but I'm having a slight problem that the ball bounces off the sides of the platforms and speeds of the screen, I'm using the Solid behaviour for the platforms.

How can I just bounce of the top of the platform and not bounce off the sides?
