[FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]I’m trying to make clouds move across a background. I followed a Kirup Continuously Scrolling Image tutorial but it didn’t turn out quite right. [/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]I set the stage to be a certain size and my first layer is a background pic. My second layer is an elongated cloud pic (MC). In frame 1 (Keyframe) I adjusted the cloud pic to start in on the stage even with the left side of it. I set another Keyframe at frame 500. Then I held Ctrl and left arrow until the right side of my elongated cloud pic met evenly with the right side of my stage. Then I motion tweened it between both Keyframes.[/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]When I Test Movie, it scrolls correctly but you can see the whole elongated cloud pic (MC) moving over the stage and extending beyond it on both sides. Not exactly the look I was going for. What did I forget?[/SIZE][/FONT]
