Hello,

well I am starting with Flash right now. Everything seems to be easy so far. However, I am stuck right now.

I have a fairly large background and I have a character that is able to move freely. When I move him he always goes out of the screen. What I want is that the character is moving on the background.

I have seen some solutions, but they all fix the player onto the stage and let the background move. I do not like this kind of approach, because it might bad for expanding the program.

How can I accomplish that my character is moving on the background, while the background is fixed and not moving?


To let the character move I have this so far
Code:
  
public function loop(e:Event):void
        {
            checkKeypresses(); //function that checks if a key was pressed
        	if(leftPressed){
				x -= speed;
			}else if(rightPressed){
				x += speed;

			}
			
			if(upPressed){
				y -= speed;
			} else if(downPressed){
				y += speed
			}
     }
Do you now what I mean?

ThankYou
