I'm making as my intro some fullscreen 320x200 pictures, wich will be a cartoon to see. I want to show it like this. When you do "new game", then picture #1 must show up. When user clicks picture #2 shows ... and so on, untill last picture and then the game starts. Do I need to make a new room for every picture, or is there an better/easier way?
I believe you can do it in a single room, using the create overlay feature for each image.
Can you explain some more, because I don't understand :P
Well I haven't done an intro yet myself so I don't know exactly where the script would go.
Basically you'd need to import all of the slide show pictures as sprites and then use the CreateOverlay, and RemoveOverlay(?) commands to make them appear and disappear as the player toggles through them.
Read up a bit on overlays and if it is still unclear let me know and I will try to elaborate later tonight.
you could have all your bgs be connected one after another. then if userclick then move viewport over...and so on. ( on one scrolling styled bg)
allso how about using the animated backgrounds with a slow animation speed ?
well, he wants it to change on user click, so unless you just run the animation on that click, and that it would only be one frame of animation, really.
ah got it!. .hadn't thought of that..!

Well, he can use SetBackgroundFrame() anyway.
And the overlay idea can be good too, but I think it's better to use the raw draw functions to wedge the image on the bg rather than overlays, as overlays are "floating" thingies drawn on top, it can cause a more noticiable slowdown if the images are large.
So what are you saying, should I make an animated background and use set background frame?? How much frames can I make?
5 with animated backgrounds
scummbuddy's solution is interesting i wouldn't have thought of that
