Star Speeds?

[MoNgOlIaN]

I have recently played a game on the blackmaze site (http://www.blackmaze.com) called Spacecraft Voyager in which you're a spaceship fighting other spaceships. I've seen other games like this. But my question is not about the movement of the ship, but about the stars in the background. Some move at different speeds, and they keep going. They can't possibly be just one huge movieclip can they?

I know ActionScript was used. Could some please tell, give a link, or hint as to what AS was used?

Any help would be appreciated.

:beer: Cheers!

Thanks a lot man, but do you by any chance have one that responds to the player's movement and doesnt move by itself?

big advice try to change your game as much as possible from this one other wise your game will suck.

for doing something that responds to the ship i'd start by looking at stuff like this (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/grass.htm) and this (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/snow.htm) which respond to the mouse, then just change that to the ship, hope that helps, i didn't get time to go to that game.
