Moving around a storyboard scene

Hello Corona Community,

I’m new to Corona and wondering the best practice for moving around a storyboard scene. I’m not sure if this question belongs in this section or not, but…

Basically I have a view-able background image that’s 3 times longer then screens width that I want a user to scrub through and find objects which will lay over the background image.

Do i need to group everything and move the group along the x-axis or is there a way to just move the viewable screen around the storyboard without having to move the objects? I apologize if this is a newbie question, but if anyone could point me to a reference material or in the right direction, I’d be most appreciative.

Thank you,

Have a look at some of the sprite demos in Corona, a couple of them have scrolling backgrounds made up of different images. Also there is a few demos that have big background images that you can scroll around.

On my latest game I have 3 background images side by side, you can see the first one and the other 2 are off screen. I added these 3 to a group and then I scroll the group along the x while the player is moving along.
