I am running off of JCS v1.00 and I have a problem with layer properties and the paralax viewer. I want to align the levels 3 and 5 with Sprite Layer 4 and here are the steps I take to set them up like that:

1. I go to the layer properties for layer 4 and copy the width and height and set them for layers 3 and 5.
2. On layers 3 and 5, I set the X-Speed, Y-Speed, X-Auto Speed, and Y-Auto Speed to 0.

After that, the paralax viewer is frozen on layers 3 and 5 and will not update. Anything I put on layers 3 and 5 after that, will not show up in the tested level. Any ideas? I would appreciate it a lot.

Try setting the X-speed and Y-speed to 1.

Oh... Yeah.. That did it. Thank you very much. That was very dumb of me and now I'm kind of feeling foolish. I DID do that for one of my other levels, but I guess I overlooked that this time.. Thank you.

Furthermore, layer speeds are defined relative to the speed of layer 4. That way you can do multiples/fractions of the layer 4 speed to speed up/slow down the layer in question.
