I have several layered background images, some of them are being moved. When I then move my character in the front (only) the moving images behind it vanish during the move() action and then reappear o_0; Is this an internal Ren'py issue?
# setting up the background in the beginning
show flugzeug at Move((1.0,.1),(-1.0,.1),160.0,repeat=True) behind beach
# ...later in the game
show ni happy flip at Position(xpos=.5,ypos=1.2) with dissolve
ni "What do you mean 'what about you'?"
show ni happy flip at Position(xpos=.3,ypos=1.2) with move
# during(!) this move the 'flugzeug' image in the back vanishes

No, I didn't say it, but In fact I have already two objects moving in the background. They both vanish, during the period 'ni' is moved in the foreground.
Pan() isn't an option, because it's to pan over a large image which needs to be bigger than the game's resolution.
I didn't try your other suggestion yet. Thanks ^_^
I should ask PyTom. He actually has seen part of the moves I am talking about, because it caused Ren'Py 6.9.0d to crash. Somehow I suspect that sth happens with the rendering layers inside of Ren'py. Because the moves are set 'behind' other images.
