Hi Cartoon Monkey
Right first you need to set up some bitmaps, you have to have something to scroll to! What you actually do when scrolling is move the background. Make two bitmaps, (microsoft paint will do), make them 640*480. Then go
load bitmap "Your filename.bmp",1
get image 11,0,0,639,479
delete bitmap 1
you don't need the bitmap once you've got the image
load bitmap "Your filename.bmp",2
get image 12,0,0,639,479
delete bitmap 2
rem setup variables
these are for positioning the images
xpos = 640
ypos = 0
rem this makes sure it updates at the end of each loop
rem and stops your program from being jumpy
sync on
sync
do
cls
make sure all images especially background ones are tied
to the xpos and ypos values, because it is those which you change
paste image 11,xpos-640,ypos
paste image 12,xpos,ypos
rem this changes the xpos
if leftkey()=1
xpos=xpos-1
rem this is how you stop the background picture just going right
rem off your screen
if xpos =< 0
xpos=0
endif
if rightkey()=1
xpos=xpos+1
rem this is how you stop the background picture just going right
rem off your screen
if xpos =>640
xpos=640
endif
rem the mouse bit
with the mouse detect the actual screen edge and then when your mouse cursor
is at the edge you just put the same code again as for the arrow keys
if mousex()=> 638
xpos=xpos+1
if xpos => 640
xpos=640
endif
if mousex()=< 2
xpos=xpos-1
if xpos =< 0
xpos=0
endif
sync
loop
for things like the brackets on mousex() you don't have to put anything, but when you do other things with brackets then you have to put in the values
you want
anyways this should work if it doesn't the + & - might be the wrong way around
