Make a new layer behind the layer that the player is on and put your background on that layer. Then play around with the parallax value of the background layer until you get what you want.

Also, look in the examples that come with construct 2 under Platform 7 (Parallax)

Thank you for the assistance- reading your reply made me realize I had done the layering wrong. Thank you.

Pay attention to the trees and foliage in the back. I want it to move with the player, but slower and scrolling. Could not find a tutorial on this anywhere and tried multiple different things, but to no avail.

My character flies up 4 times then comes down, only problem is, if you keep pressing the jump button, they still descend, but much more slowly. How do I disable the jump button until landing so descent is normal speed?

Think of Meta Knight from Super Smash Bros, you can make him fly like 5 times before he falls. I want it to be where you can press up like 3 times, he'll fly/jump 3 times, then fall without being able to stop it.

It isn't that I haven't tried, it's that I have a tendency to try stuff alone and then when I try to find answers I'm awful at finding stuff.

The creature you play as is a Phoenix, but I don't want constant flying or a click to fly. I need it where he glides some above the ground all the time, then you can press a button up to 4 or 5 times to get him to fly up some, before it ends and he comes back down to normal level. This may sound stupid so I apologize, but please.
