Hi,
I’m currently trying to make a platform game in AS3, where I use a virtual camera to follow the player’s movements. It’s a relatively complex platformer (enemy movement patterns, item pickups, etc.), so I was unable to use the “traditional” method of keeping the player character still throughout the game, and moving the background instead.
So, even though the player starts on the stage, he–as well as the camera–eventually move far, far away from there. Everything works great… until, that is, I reach the x coordinate of ~3600. At that point, my objects stop getting drawn, and some other weird things occur (graphics flashing, etc.).
It seems that at this point, there is no way to continue developing the level! Any ideas? Would it somehow work to teleport the character to a new scene, where I can start at (0, 0) on the stage again? I’m really at a loss here! Thanks!
