This is probably a totally lame question, but I can't see an answer anywhere..

I want to create a vertically scrolling map. I have my .tmx file in place, I can get it & Lime loaded into the simulator and I can instructions for how to move the map by tap/touch but I can't see if there's an easy way to scroll the map up the screen at a pre-determined rate.

Is there a simple way to do this (or evena complex one I haven't found yet?)

TIA

Hey, there is no such thing as a dumb question! :-)

This should be what you are looking for:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

local speed = -1
 
local onUpdate = function( event )
 
     map:move( 0, speed )
 
end
 
Runtime:addEventListener( "enterFrame", onUpdate )
