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?
