Welcome to the crossover tutorial.  As stated on the preview, this ssc file came from our own Nona and she gave me permission to use it for a tutorial for everyone.  To preview the finished tutorial, please click here.  To download the zipped file with all of the graphics, sound and the ssc file, please click here.

1.  Open up a new master scrippy file and insert a background.  For this one you need to use the crossover-bg2.jpg.

2.  Insert a positioned container.  As this is the first positioned container it will show up all the way over at the left margin. 

3.  Insert a frame.

4.  Insert a background.

5.  Now click on the main background and insert another positioned container.

6.  Insert a frame just as you did in step #3.

7.  Insert a background just as you did in step #4.

8.  Click on the main background and then insert a positioned container.

9.  Next insert a frame, just as you did in step #3.

10.  Insert a background.  Use cross-bg1.jpg and scroll this one left.  Everything else is the same as in #4.

This is what you should have at this point.

11.  Click on the main background and insert a positioned container.

12.  Insert a frame as you did in step #3.

13.  Insert the same background and scroll direction as in step #10.

14.  Click on the main background and insert a positioned container again.

15.  Insert a frame as in step #3.

16.  Insert a background as in step #13.  BUT, scroll this one DOWN.

17.  Click on the main background and insert another positioned container.

18.  Insert another frame as in step #3.

19.  Insert another background using the cross-bg1.jpg and scroll this one RIGHT.  Please refer to step #13 for an image.

20.  Click on the main background and insert another positioned container.

21.  Insert a frame as in step #3.

22.  Insert a background using the cross-bg1.jpg image.  Scroll this one UP.

23.  Click on the main background and insert one more positioned container.  This is the last positioned container you will insert!

24.  Insert another frame as in step #3.

25.  Insert another background as before.  Use the cross-bg1.jpg and scroll this one UP!  Refer to step #10 for the image but make sure to scroll it up.

This makes a total of eight positioned containers, each one should be all the way over at the left margin.

26.  Next we will insert the message area.  Set all of the margins as shown in the image below.  When that is done you will click on this icon and insert the image named crossover-main.jpg.  While that box is open, notice it gives you the option to set margins around the image.  Set these all to 10.  If you have already clicked and missed that option box, click on the main image and delete it then go and redo it.

27.  All that is left to do is to insert sound, a ticker and the loading message.  Try to keep your loading message time down below 2.0.  To learn how to add in a background graphic in your loading message, please go to the main index and refer to the Scrippy Tips section.
