setting pixels in large area

[Tuna]

I have a window that is 5000 x 5000 (the frame is much smaller of course, its a scroller on x and y)

I want to set random pixels in the entire area to represent stars. If i do anything outside the frame itself, so I can't figure out how to pull this off.

Any ideas?

Can't you just use a big'ish quick backdrop object with a star image on it? If you make it around twice as big as the visible frame it will not look like a pattern repeating itself.

Yeah, i tried that, but I didn't think it looked good. I really just want the dots (stars) to make it easy to tell that you are moving.

You could use a few active objects which move with the frames scrolling but wrap around within the visible area.
