Nice stuff you got there, how did you do the scrolling in the doodle game and where are you from?:)

The Doodle character is actually moving on the _root level. I just move the _root level so that it centers Doodle. Here is the code (easing is also in there):

code:

---

_root._x += ((sW/2-this._x)-_root._x)/5;

		if (_root._x<sW-_root.map._width) {

			_root._x = sW-_root.map._width;

		}

		if (_root._x>0) {

			_root._x = 0;

		}

		_root._y += ((sH/2-this._y+this._height/2)-_root._y)/5;

sW and sH are the dimensions of the Stage, and "this" is your hero MC.

If you wanted an object to stay a certain distance from the left and top, for example the score and time, you would do this:

code:

---

_root.s_t._x = -_root._x+10;

		_root.s_t._y = -_root._y+10;

---

That will put MC s_t 10 pixels from the left and 10 pixels from the top.

Hope that helps,
