I am looking at various ways to code a sidescrolling game. I personally prefer using the hit test points method of doing things and for small areas it has been working great for me. However I am now trying to make a larger level for my game and the “ground” that my player walks on is longer than the 3700 pixels i can go to the right of the stage.
To clarify what i mean by this, I have a ground MC that scrolls left and right as the player moves around on it. So in flash I’m building the ground MC and have now gone so far to the right that it will no longer allow me to build any further in that direction. I could probably come up with a way to load a new section once the player reaches that point, but that would be very tedious to make it seamlessly stream into the next part. So i was just wondering if there was a way to make a movie clip span a wider section in flash. If not I’ll probably just break up the level into sections.
