Just added some new Flash source code

I found a quick and easy way to make a parallax scroller in Flash.

What is parallax?
This effect is noticeable in a car and you are looking out the window. Things that are close to the car as you drive by move faster, while things in the background move slower.

This effect is easily accomplished while using Flash. I just added an example in the source code section.

The code can be as simple as this:
(I have two movie clips on the stage named “top” and “bottom.”)

position = 0;
function move_stuff(position){
var tween_handler:Tween = new Tween(bottom, “_x”, Regular.easeOut, bottom._x, position, 5, true)
var tween_handler:Tween = new Tween(top, “_x”, Regular.easeOut, top._x, position*.4, 5, true);
}

All that I am doing is moving objects on the stage relative to each other and placing one relative to the other by a smaller percentage.

Now place some buttons and call a location you want to move to by using this code:
on(release){
move_stuff(-1000);
}

It is that simple, you can download the code here.Flash Source Code
