Time for action – increasing the width of the scene

The game file to import and load for this session is 5961_02_10.stencyl.

We're going to change the width of the scene, so we need to display the jungle scene's properties:

1. On the Dashboard, click on the Scenes heading.

2. Double-click the thumbnail image for the Jungle scene.

3. Ensure that the Scene button is selected in the row of buttons at the upper-center of the screen.

4. Click on the Properties button in the same row of buttons.

5. In the Edit Scene Properties dialog box, under the Size heading, change the Width from 20 to 60.

   

6. Click on OK.

7. Test the game by making the monkey run past the rightmost edge of the scene, and then close the Flash Player window—expect a problem to occur when the monkey leaves the edge of the screen!

What just happened?
