Scrolling backgrounds in DPaint 5?

Anyone know how to scroll a background horizontally in DPaint 5?

You take the first background and move it on the X axis until it moves off the screen, lets say 30 frames.  




That doesn't make any sense at all does it? ;-)

I got the general gist there, but how do I move a background on the X-axis?  I can do that with a brush using the move requestor, but how do I tell DPaint to do the same with a background?

i am doing an animation where a cartoon character is walking along the ground, but instead of moving him across the screen, he is stationary but the background moves behind him

I dug up an old review in CU Amiga that says DPaint 5 supports scrolling backgrounds and that it is easy to do using the move requestor, they even have a screen shot of a background scrolling by behind some brushes, but alas they didn't say how to do it.

Thanks for that.

But the way the CU Amiga review of DPaint 5 is written it gives the impression that the background scrolling was a new feature to DPaint 5.  That would imply a new built in function that did the scrolling, as different from cutting it out as a brush and animating with the move requestor.  But maybe thats the way i read it.

Thanks anyway, will probably end up doing it the way you said.
