Dynamic Background?

mark4man · 09-06-2003, 03:16 PM

Gang,

Here's what I need:

I created an animated rocket ship image, for which I wanted to look like it was traveling through space.

The animation itself has nice movement, but it needs to be placed on a background of stars that moves laterally behind it.

I exhausted a number of possibilities with a Java Applet of a dynamic star field, only to find out that applets always occupy the top layer, obscuring everything else in their wake.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/15215-dynamic-background.html

The only thing left for me to do is either learn Flash . . .

. . . or animate a space background I already have.

Is there any way, through Java Scripting (or otherwise), to move a page background image horizontally, in a continually repeating motion?

If I could accomplish that, I could place my animated space ship on top of the background; & all would be well.

Thanks for any help,
