Embossing a sprite on an image background

[bab javier]

hello again!
I positioned a sprite on an image background. Problem is whenever i scroll the background, the sprite doesn't move with it. Is there a way to fix a sprite on a certain area on the image and its movement will be with its background?
tnx

Hello,
I would suggest you to create a background bufer image, get the image graphics, draw in this graphics the image you want to be fixed and then move the bufer.
Cheers,
Pavlin

hi!!!
Need your help on that..
how to create a background picture..
i am loading the image but i am not able to resize the image's width/height as per the canvas width/height. as a result of that there is some white area left.
also as the canvas's width/height can change(depending on the screen size) i don't want to specify the image's width/height
help needed

thanks Pavlin. its working!
now i have another problem, those sprites that i have embossed are not interactive. they can't collide with other sprites. i think it has been converted or treated as an image.
Puneet:
are u making a program for a Nokia phone? if yes, u can use DirectUtils.createImage(width, height, ARGBcolor). this will make the whites transparent.
if u want ur image to fit the whole canvas, i would suggest that u make or have a graphic designer make an image that has ur canvas dimensions. i won't recommend that u resize (through code) ur image for it will be blurred. the pixels usually "explode".
hope this helps.
