Scrolling Animations

[SpeedRacerOnline webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I am trying to make a picture with a scrolling wrap-around background. Specifically I want a picture of a car driving. I'm a total newbie. I figured out the animations a little. I have a car, and can make the wheels turn. I can figure out how to add a background that scrolls like the car is driving. What I can't get is how do I make it wrap-around so it's continuous instead of moving so far then resetting. Any help anyone? Thanks.

What I can't get is how do I make it wrap-around so it's continuous instead
of moving so far then resetting.

See if this helps any.....

Think of you scrolling background as a long piece of paper. To make it
continuous you would have to join the two ends together and it would have to
be seamless. Does the left edge of your background match the right edge?
If you ripped it off the screen and rolled it up, would the images along
those two edges line up? If not, that is probably why you are seeing the
"reset".

Does that make sense to you?

Cheers,
Sam

Actually, the question is how do I connect the end of the picture to the beginning. Right now when I animate it, it just moves from one side of the workspace to the other. How do I make it wrap-around in the first place?
