Hi Scrippy Community
I've written this tut at the request of some of you. It's a bit of an optical illusion
but has a great effect.
It's based on an idea from Sonia and I used Bandit's ribbon graphics and colourised them.
So the shopping list for this tut is :-
1 200x200 background
1 main graphic
2 different coloured ribbon graphics the ones I used measured 53x264
OK let's make the stat. Remember to save as you go ;)
1. Insert a plain coloured background (I do this so I can see my text when I write in the message area. I used black as it's the main solid colour in this stat).
2. Insert positioned container all edges set to 0.
3. Insert background mine is the blue sparkly set to scroll up and left at 180 pixels per second and 4 per move.
4. Insert positioned container all edges set to 3, let it nest DO NOT PULL IT OVER.
5. Insert plain colored background mine is black.
6. Insert positioned image set horizontal centre 0, vertical top 20. (remember to save)
7. Insert positioned container let it nest DO NOT PULL IT OVER set horizontal position and width left 0 specified size 106. Top and bottom edges 0.
8. Insert positioned container let it nest DO NOT PULL IT OVER. Set position and width Left 20 same as largest contained image. Top and bottom edges 0.
9. Insert background and find ribbon 1 scrolling up 130 per second 1 per move fast scroll, transparency 1, everything else as default.
10. Insert background and find ribbon 2 scrolling down 130 per second 1 per move fast scroll vertical start 132 transparency 1
11. Copy the container you just did make sure the last background is highlighted and paste in the container pulling it out level with the one above it change the first background to scroll down and the second background to scroll up, leaving everything else as it is.
12. Highlight the last background and paste the container in again, pull it out level with the one above it. change the first background to scroll down vertical start 132. Change the second background to scroll up vertical start 0.
13. As before paste in the container, pull it out level with the one above it. The first background should be scrolling up and the vertical start 132. The second background should be scrolling down and the vertical start 0.
14. 
Easy bit here go to the container with the specified size of 106 and copy it. Make sure the last background is highlighted and paste in the container. I've put in a screen shot here so you can see where it needs to be pulled out to.

I've put in a screen shot here so you can see where it needs to be pulled out to.Change the main 106 container to right. Now if you preview you should have twisters on the left and right of your main image.
Remember to add sound, loading message, and message area. Now for the important bit :)
