If the screen of the game is small you'd probably get away with using active objects and just wrapping them when they leave the frame. Im pretty sure the active system box thingy can achieve a scrolling effect...or not.

The background is a quick backdrop and if it was an active object then it would tkae hours to copy and paste the squares.

Hold ctrl and drag an object, that duplicates it. Then select both those objects and duplicate them, then duplicate 4, then 8, then 16... it gets very quick very... quickly!

Alternatively, create them in a simple loop (if you understand loops).

Well you don't even need a frame that large if you're doing what we're suggesting.

Yes, but we just suggested you make the objects come down like active objects instead of scrolling the screen. So the level can be infinite.

I think in MMF2 it's also possible to use this "virtual height" setting in the frame properties and set it to "-1" (infinite), or something like that.

I tried doing something like this before in the vein of NES Commando or Tiger Heli before with one big active that continuously added +1 to its Y value every (0.X) amount of seconds. The only thing there is that is stopped when it got to the end because that's where the big boss was supposed to be. It had a lot of slowdown to it too, but that was on my old computer which slows everything down anyway.
