You've seen the tutorial video, so you should get the basic idea of making animations. (Please try typing without s1an6 here.)
I don't understand the question in detail.

A scrolling background is just a (set of) sprites drawn first (behind the foreground sprites) with an offset:

SPRITE back1, offx, 0
SPRITE back2, offx + width_of_back1, 0

e.g.

Since you've found the way to www.glbasic.com, you proved you're _not_ an idiot. Welcome, friend.

k sorry for being dum but can u break that down for me like back1=filename.bmp etc
also wot the offx supposed to be is that wot it is or is that ment to be off + (100 or whatever )i pasted the code u gave me replaced back1 with my file name and offx+ 640 (width of back1)   get this


 warning : probably unassigned variable :

and


compiling:
C:\Program Files\GLBasic\Compiler\platform\gpc_temp0.cpp:58: error: expected `}' at end of input

can you help with these please


also!! the multiple animations i want i set the first works fine but when i add the other it doesnt show up.... help


   // witch ani
   WHILE TRUE
   delta=delta+1
   IF delta>100
      ani1=1-ani1
      delta=0

 -> post that code here



4 different sprites? Read the tutorials (Press F1 in editor). Especially about "Arrays".
If you're read all these, I can give you an example that you might understand. Don't get me wrong - learning everything at once is not possible. You must dig into it bit by bit.

Where ani1 originally starts as 0
ani1=1-ani1=1
Then it loops:
1-ani1=0
1-ani1=1
1-ani1=0
1-ani1=1

etc
it will always equal 1 or 0 with that algrithm

try this instead:

 // witch ani
    WHILE TRUE
    delta=delta+1
    IF delta>100
        ani1=ani1+1
        if ani1>3 then ani1=0
        delta=0
    ENDIF

first frame will equal 0
then 1 then 2 then 3 then 0 etc
