				Hey everybody, this might sound like a weird question but I develop apps for Android and am trying to learn how to create a 2d sunset or clouds image that simply goes from the left side of the screen to the right, forever. I would like it to look flush so that the right side of the image connects with the left.
 
 
Is there a specific name for an image like this? Are there any tutorials anyone can point me to that will show me how to create these?
 
 
Thanks very much  |

				Welcome to the forum. It's not my area but I believe you are looking for 'looping animations'. _________________ If life serves you lemons, make lemonade!  |

				hi,
 
don't know anyting about programming apps for android... not sure if my reply is good enough...
 
 
however.....
 
 
i think your talking about some sort of animation.. either a looping animated gif or possibly in movie format or flash format where the program that is calling it up you  can assign it to loop.. 
 
 
now i hope this is what your looking for... maybe the other guys have other thoughts on the matter... but anyway here a tutorial.....

				Vitality, tell me if I understood you correctly, what you need is a cloud image that is faded on both ends so when the left side of the right cloud overlaps the right side of the left cloud, things will still look natural?  |
