As for your second question:
As far as I know, flic, WAV and MIDI files are compiled into the game, so you only have to put them into the game folder.

Yeah, making a looping room requires a specifically made background (see AGS Demo game for details).

Anyway the script is:

EDIT: to make it work at any resolution:

function room_*() {
 // script for room: Repeatedly execute
 
int GPC = GetPlayerCharacter();
 
 int room_res_x = 320;
 if (system.screen_width > 320) room_res_x = system.screen_width/2;
 
 if (character[GPC].x > game.room_width - room_res_x/2) {
   StopMoving(GPC);
   character[GPC].x = room_res_x/2;
 }
 else if (character[GPC].x < room_res_x/2) {
   StopMoving(GPC);
   character[GPC].x = game.room_width - room_res_x/2;
 }

}


But make sure you backup the game before importing such a background as it has a size different than the original and thereby erases all your previously made walkables/hotspots etc.
