You can't.
You just have to use a sprite image and put it in the background by giving it maximum density.

Or you could give the effect of an animated background by putting in multiple background layers that are moving at different speeds and/or in different directions.

will it be a post to be remembered by?
or will i scare off a n00b and tell him to die?

Then you just have to have it follow you around like a HUD. --------------------

I'd give an example in code, but I don't really know the background variables that well. -------------------- Allusion - [\|\|--------] *25% complete* GridLocked - [\|\|\|\|------] *45% complete* my blog

Use this code!

Create Event:

CODE

alarm[0] = 9

Alarm 0:

CODE

if background_index[0] = bg_1
background_index = bg_2
if background_index[0] = bg_2
background_index = bg_3
if background_index[0] = bg_3
background_index = bg_4
if background_index[0] = bg_4
background_index = bg_1
alarm[0] = 9

Hope this helps you!
