I am wondering if anyone can help me with this… I am very new flash, i only got it yesterday 😃 I want to create an animated background, with a picture going across from left to right, but i want the forground (a mailing list signup or such) to stay static, and the background only to move. Also, can I loop the background, so theres no breaks in it, just continuous? Thanks in advance. ---
