scrollFactor is useful for changing the rate at which a FlxObject moves in relation to the camera.

You can set the x and y scroll factors independently. A value of 1 means the object will move exactly as fast as the camera. A value of 0 means the object will not move at all as the camera scrolls.

// set the scroll factor of an object
object.scrollFactor.set(0.5, 0.75);
