    Don't use "control camera", just move down the field actors :)

    Moving actors is one of the most basic things, you should check cookbook, GS manual, and tutorial videos.

    What is the name of the tutorial ?

    Moving actors is so simple, that there is no direct tutorial. If you can't make such simple thing, you should watch all tutorials, before making any type of game.

    you must first learn to crawl before you learn to walk. you must learn to walk before you can "run down a road like this"

    that vid you posted would be pretty dificult in gamesalad. you better start crawling.

    What did you mean with crawling?

    It's just a saying - babies have to learn to crawl, before they can walk, or run.

    its a play on an old saying meaning that you should start small learn the basics before jumping into complicated things.

    Ooh now i understand, but i haven't think to make the best game right now, but i will help really much if i know how to do that like the video - also just how the camera do that, just linear - also i just have a linear road and will go down of it ? Very simple, not pro or
    3d or somthing ? Just simple go down of a
    Actor like it's a road?

    - also because it sound relly easy just move a actor, and i i'm not noob to GS, it just because i don't so good to understand the GS language i'm not so bad and i had seen many of the tutorials.

    - Sorry the bad english

    This is fairly complicated to do in code. and requires raster manipulation. (i.e. manipulating the graphics line by line at run time)....which you can't do in gamesalad.

    you can read about it more here : http://www.gorenfeld.net/lou/pseudo/

    You can however, do things to "fake" it

    I made a start on some of the concepts here


    here



    and here


    The guys at Deep Blue Apps also did a similar thing, but I think they used animation to simulate the rolling 3d effect.
