Legacy GM draw background with an hspeed

[ragingdemonz]

hello... i was wondering if i could do something like

s1=draw_background(background3, view_xview, view_yview);
s1.background_hspeed=1

i'm trying to make a sky and mountains, and for the sky, it will move on its own after drawing it...how can i do this without creating a separate entity and without setting it in the room?

// Create event
back = 0;

// Step event
if (back++ == width_of_background)
    back = 0

// Draw event
draw_background(background3, view_xview + back, view_yview);

Edit: Scratch That @Paolo Mazzon , it still doesnt work :/ and im not sure what you mean by width of background

do you mean something like
if back++== 256
back=0?

The width in pixels of the background. But I did make a mistake, don't use draw_background, use draw_background_tiled (Same arguments).
