Stage help - Parallax Help and animation help needed

Decided to work on a stage because I cant figure out my PalFX problem still.

I've set the sky to be parallax on my stage. It has a velocity slowly moving it left. It's tiled.
When the stage starts off the sky looks great. But after a few minutes everything is skewed pretty badly.
It goes from this

To this
 

Does anyone know how to make the top of the trapezoid move faster than the bottom? I'm 99% sure that'd fix my problem.

I think you should make the effect as long animations, and manually place them - do not apply velocities, just make it look like they are scrolling. In photoshop you could even make a quick "Action" - nudge, save as; nudge, save as; nudge, save as...

I get the feeling the velocity is what is screwing it all up

I'm making the stage for 1.0. If I make it an animation, parallax wont work.

parallaxed elements can't be animated, they need to be static.
But, you can use BG controllers and enable/disable the different "frames" of the static elements

I'm not exactly familiar with making stages. How would I go about doing this?

----
I'm having a weird problem. I dont think I've seen it on another stage, but when the screen moves left or right, my wheat animation pops in and out of view. Like if I move the right, green, Dhalsim the wheat will appear and disappear over and over. Anyone know what's causing this? None of my other objects seem to have this problem. The wheat will also come into screen normal on the left side.

Without seeing the actual stage code and sprites, I would say that you have a wrong delta parameter based on what you describe

With some guidance from N. I've got it to work.
The popping was solved by moving the Action down into the Positive X & Positive Y quadrant. Then using the BG controller adding that value to get the proper spot.

Take sprite 999,1013
It's sff axis is X=75 & Y=124

Then in the actions I have
[Begin Action 999]
999,1013, 80,130, 3

Then in the BG I have
[BG Grain Path];
type = anim
actionno = 999
;start = -2661,376
start = -2741,246
