Creating a parallax background effect for your scenes in Hype is not hard.
In the following video you can see how it works:
var objects = document.getElementsByClassName("mouseParallax");
function map(value, low1, high1, low2, high2){
return low2 + (value - low1) * (high2 - low2) / (high1 - low1)
};
function doParallax(e){
for(var i=0; i<objects.length; i++){
var current = objects[i];
var currentWidth = current.style.width.slice(0,-2);
var currentHeight = current.style.height.slice(0,-2);
var parent = current.parentNode.parentNode;
var parentWidth = parent.style.width.slice(0,-2);
var parentHeight = parent.style.height.slice(0,-2);
var widthDiff = parentWidth-currentWidth;
var heightDiff = parentHeight-currentHeight;
var mousePosX = e.pageX;
var mousePosY = e.pageY;
var newPosX = map(mousePosX,0,window.innerWidth,0,widthDiff);
var newPosY = map(mousePosY,0,window.innerHeight,0,heightDiff);
hypeDocument.setElementProperty(current, 'left', newPosX);
hypeDocument.setElementProperty(current, 'top', newPosY);
}
}
document.addEventListener("mousemove", doParallax);
