Virtual frame size

[ColdFire]

What is Virtual frame width and height and how I should use that?

[nivram]

Very useful for huge scrolling games: defines the virtual width of the frame. A large virtual width allows you to scroll on a large surface, larger than the frame itself. If the Wrap option is selected in a layer, the background of this layer will wrap automatically when it reaches the real width of the frame. For example, a frame size of 640x480 and a virtual width of 10000 will enable the player to scroll up to the position 10000 on the right without being stopped. If you enter -1 in this field the scrolling is quasi-infinite.

Thanks for the -1 tip Marv.

Are there any limitations or trade offs using this?
ie. is it generally better to specify a size?

I just leave it alone and it comes out to the frame size.
