Hey Fellow Flashers,

I came across this really cool site the other day and I was wondering if anyone could take a look at it and tell me what the actionscripting might look like to create the same type of effect.

The website is

[www.sundancepoolsandspas.com](http://www.sundancepoolsandspas.com)

The effect I’m trying to create is the cloads rolling from left to right in the background. I know there is a tutorial here on [Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com) for something similar, but that tutorial speeds up, slows down, and has the graphic follow the mouse.

I am merely interested in making the clods slowly roll through the screen from left to right. If anyone out there cn help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Kelly :beam:

</div>

it’s the same thing …

this is the code in the tutorial

```auto
onClipEvent (load) {
xcenter = 150;
speed = 1/10;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var distance = _root._xmouse-xcenter;
this._x += (distance*speed);
if (this._x > 0) this._x = -300;
if (this._x < -300) this._x = 0;
}

```

just remove this lines

```auto
xcenter = 150;
var distance = _root._xmouse-xcenter;

```

and change the variable _speed_ to whatever you want

the script should look like this:

```auto
onClipEvent (load) {
**speed = 4** ;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x += speed;
if (this._x > 0) this._x = -300;
if (this._x < -300) this._x = 0;
}

```

😉 =)

sorry … i forgot to remove another useless line. you don’t need two _if statements_ 😛

```auto
onClipEvent (load) {
speed = 4;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x += speed;
if (this._x > 0) this._x = -300;
}

```

just in case … 😉

in fact … if the speed will always be same the same you can just

```auto
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x += 4;
if (this._x > 0) this._x = -300;
}

```
