I would be overjoyed if someone can clear up a few things for me, I don't understand how to make backgrounds scroll, I'm wanting to make a background scroll left-right if that's possible, I've seen some people pull it off, but I don't know how to do it myself

If you want to try making a side scrolling game, the first thing you do is create your background with individual sprites. Every object in the background needs to have its own sprite. Then, when you begin writing code for moving, instead of the player (or whatever the “camera” follows) moving, everything in the background moves. It is also important to note that when sprites touch the edge of the stage, they stop moving and clump up together. One way to fix this is by making a variable:

when green flag clicked
set [x v] to [0]
forever
if <key [left v] pressed?> then
change [x v] by (10)
end
if <key [right v] pressed?> then
change [x v] by (-10)
end
when green flag clicked
forever
if <<(x) < [240]> and <(x) > [-240]>> then 
show
set volume to (100) %
else
hide
set volume to (0) %
end
end
when green flag clicked
forever
if <(volume) = [100]> then
if <key [left v] pressed?> then
change x by (10)
end
if <key [right v] pressed?> then
change x by (-10)
end
end
end

The idea of this is so that with background sprites when they reach the edge they disappear, and when they need to show up again, they reappear.
These scripts also only allow sprites to move when they are shown (Volume is a variable used for each individual sprite; I used it to avoid making new variables for each sprite. As long as you only play music on a separate sprite or the backdrop, you should be fine). I hope this helps!

Griffpatch has a few good tutorials on this.

how do you make it scroll every where. l

Please don't necropost. If you need help then please make your own topic.

I don't know what I'm doing with big text, but what I think he means is how to make a scrolling backdrop.

Please check the date before posting; this topic is from 2017.

To make the player sprite go in front of the other sprites, try using this block:

go to [front v] layer :: looks
