what would be the best way to achieve this?

i cant quite figure what the maximum length of the background image can be?

at the minute im going for a tiled approach but im having trouble figuring out how to get the next tile to appear at the end of the one before it :(

    I think the maximum length is 1024px.

    not being able to work out how to just get the tiles to scroll next to each other is killing me lol

    1024 x 1024 is max image size. You can make the stage as wide as you need it to be, and just place the segments in line with each other, and have the main actor move across instead of scrolling the background. You'll just have to position the camera where you need it. With images that size, it will be less taxing on the device to move the actor instead of a bunch of 1024 x 1024 backgrounds, even if you use interpolate to move the backgrounds.
