Hi, i am creating a mario style game ... i would like the screen to move when the character moves, but i do not want the background images to move. Are there any game salad tutorials on youtube i could take a look at. How would i go around doing this. Thanks. :)

    Add a camera control to the Main character. Then, in your viewer (top-left) there is a video camera icon. Click that and the camera boarder highlights yellow. You can adjust the size of the box the camera will keep on the character. For a mario style, I'd recommend making it twice the width of your character.

    No problem. It took me forever to discover this on my own, but once I did it was very helpful!

    I wish I would have gone through more tutorials when I was starting out. :)
