Brand New - 001 - Background Movement

I am trying to get an animated background to move 45 degrees slowly (which I have accomplished via animate and move) however how do I get it to come back down so as to not have na END OF GRAPHIC show up on screen?

It should go up and then come back down then repeat?

DO I have to set two variables (attributes) to get the x y location of it and check against those to then go the opposite direction? If so how?

Wow. So how does one go about learning these types of tricks, experience? (looking at your post numbers) That was amazing!

What about beginning position - the above worked magically! however I can't seem to get the actor to start exactly in the center of the screen?

Not enough information here to offer any advice.

Thanks! I figured it out, had to set background initially to proper coordinates off screen so as to not get a end of visual file.

I'm just using some very basic trigonometry, you can learn it in an afternoon, once you understand the concepts involved you can use trigonometry to do all sorts of useful things.
