FLASH: background loops

[Stephen Tan]

Firstly, I don't know what title to give this, but anyway, here's what I wanna do.


I have a BIG background (1400x1400) that stretches way beyond the movie dimensions of the movie (640x480). The user will be able to "move" about the background, but in reality, it's the background that moves about, only a masked portion will be visible to the user. So, here's the situation, I want the background to loop back to the left side when the user reaches the end of the right side, same thing with the

top/bottom part. So it would seen like they can move about endlessly.


I've tried looking everywhere (or so I think) for a tutorial on how to do this but to no avail. SO, I'll be greatful if you could point me in the right direction.


Thanks in advance.
