Creating Scrolling Clouds in AS3

Question

Hi, ive spent the last 2 hours looking online for tutorials
and such on how to create random scrolling clouds for a flash
project im making, and after 2 hours ive found nothing at all.
I have a canvas of 900x600, and i want clouds to span across
900x150 of the canvas at the top. I want the clouds to go from
right to left and overlay on the image below.
Can anyone point me to a tutorial that will help me, or show
me how i can make this myself... it seems there is little to no
tutorials on the web that explains how to do this and its quite
annoying.

Answer 1

What exactly have you done? Have you drawn any of the clouds?
Set them as movieclips or given them names?
Assuming you've done that, in AS3 you'd simply want to create
a function to move the clouds from right to left via their name and
tie that to an event listener. For this simple example, make sure
that your clouds are off the stage on the right or wherever you
want them to start moving.
quote:
function moveWaterfall(e:Event):void{
CloudName.x -= 1;
if (CloudName.x < 0){
CloudName.x = 900;
quote:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveWaterfall);
If you have a cloud movieclip with the name CloudName, it's x
position should reduce by 1 pixel every frame until it's x position
becomes less than 0 in which case it's x position will reset to
900. Adjust those values according to where you position your
clouds.
To increase the speed, either increase the number of pixels
you're subtracting from the x value or increase your FPS.
I hope this gives you some idea... I'm not exactly sure what
you are all looking for.
