The “classic” method to make moving background (clouds or smoke) is in Kirupa’s tutorial. The movement from one side to another can be done in AS. But I have experienced difficulties especially the background image is large, maybe 500px or more wide. The movement of such a large bitmap makes the movie not so smooth.  
Has anybody any ideas to create such movements (especially clouds and smoke) in other methods?  
Any example? tutorial? something?

Thanks
