scrolling background

[Re2deemer]

I have this game, where the background is about 2500x2500. The player can rotate itself 360 and then move the way the MC is facing. How can I make the background follow it?

Make everything inside a movieclip, then put this AS on it

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._x=-player._x+Stage.width/2;
this._y=-player._y+Stage.height/2;
}

that will make it follow an mc with the instance name 'player'

Here's a hint: if the player goes right, the background should then go left, eh?
If you go up, background goes down.
Go figure it out.

Doing what? Giving hints?

Did you mean a code like this? if you did, then you gave a wrong hint. read the question carefully, especcially the part about my MC

No, I didn't read it wrong. It was you who took my hint wrong.

Okay, here's a bigger hint:
If the player goes up by 3.452367 and right by 2.744761, then relatively the rest goes 3.452367 down and 2.744761 left.
Any better? -_-

[Re2deemer]
