Changing layer properties?

Hello again!
I'm currently working on parallaxing foliage, and I'm a bit curious about the y-axis. According to what I've seen, objects that are close to the player should move slower in the y-axis and faster in the x axis.
I got the x axis part all good, but I'd like to change the y-axis part during gameplay. My level starts below the "initial" frame position, so if I set the layer y-coefficient to 0.85 at start, it'll be all messed up by the time the player gets down to the playing field. So I guess what I'm wondering is, is there an extension to change layer properties during gameplay, or is there a better method to fix y-axis parallaxing?

Using the standard layer object you can, during gameplay, change the layer position and x,y scrolling co-efficient.

Thanks a bunch!

Hm, I've experimented some with the X and Y coefficients and it seems that when I change the Y-coefficient of a layer, all of the objects in that layer get moved down or up alot, even if the y-coefficient was 1 at the beginning.
This makes level design quite a chore, as I have to place them to counter the X-coefficient.

Is there a simpler way to do this?

Move them at start of frame.

To their positions, or their layers? It's quite alot of objects

Also, backdrops can not be moved so I'd have to make them all actives.

I mean, they can not be moved through events, right?

That is correct.

Redesign your game from scratch given your new understanding in layer properties, positions and co-efficients.

My current project I have started again 4 times.

Is it possible to wrap a layer by a event. like .... after 4 seconds wrap layer horizontal. after 10 seconds remove the wraping ?

Best option: have two layers and swap objects between them using a qualifier.

But this doesn't work with backgrounds. i'm working on a racing style game with automatic vertical scrolling and worlds in different layers. on specific positions, the layers switch to visible.

Is it not possible, to bring layers in front by an event ?
