External Wrapping Background

[workshop2]

Im trying to figure a good way i can make a good wrapping background but using an external image (like a website)

Anyone know how?

You could always use a bit of trickery with the picture object.

[LazyCoder]

Use the background system box and load the image into that, then set the x and y dimensions to double that of the image size.

For the calculations, say you have a 1000x1000 image. You have a 2000x2000 background object.

Set the x coordinate to (XLeftScreen mod 1000) - 1000
and the y coordinate is similar.

you cant load external images into the b/system box! Its all internal. What i really need is the ability to change the image in a quick backdrop object. lol

Any other ways?

You should make a fastloop which fill the frame with your image. You can do that with "Active picture object" or with 2 "overlays". I prefer using overlays.

Sphax is right.

Here is an quick example: (External) Wrapping Background
