I created a squashed 480x320 in photoshop. imported in GS, created a background actor with a size of 1920x320 for a sidescrolling game. when I preview the game, it starts in the middle of the background. How do I make it so it starts at the beginning of the background?

    Go to the scene in question. Just below the big green preview triangle is an image of a mouse pointer and next to it is an image of a camera. Click on the camera and then you will be able to move the box that is the camera area. You can move that where ever you want. So it sounds like you just need to move it all the way to the left.

    A couple of things to check:

    1. Your image size may have issues. The limit on the iPhone is 1024 on either dimension. So you may need to break it down to smaller parts. Also for the iPhone, memory will not be used efficiently because the dimensions are not at a power of 2. Read up on: http://gamesalad.com/wiki/game_elements#how_big_can_i_make_my_image

    2. Did you adjust the position of the camera or have an actor with the Control Camera behavior starting in the middle of the scene? http://gamesalad.com/wiki/scene_preview

    3. Did you resize your scene to be at least the size of your background? If you have wrapping on, the image you see may actually be the wrapped image. http://gamesalad.com/wiki/scene_attributes
