Map/Event BEFORE title screen?

Latest Post

Hey, I need to know if it's possible to execute a common event before the title screen or to make a small intro (where the camera scrolls from the bottom of the map to the top (when the scrolling is done the options and title will fade/move in and the title screen would be activated from there).
Here a few possible solutions that might work:
1. Use common event before title screen (meaning i would just make a picture, use an event to put it on screen, and then move it down slowly)
2. Disable the title screen (just for the beginning) and after scrolling is done, the title screen would activate)
3. Make the title screen a map (I know you can do that with a script) and deactivate the title screen until animation is done...

Here's an example of what I'm talkin about:

And, yes, I do have the script to make the options on the menu pictures.
And here it is:
Code: 
=begin
=========================================
Professional Title Screen ver. 2.0 English Translation **Side Arrow Version**
Script by パラ犬, Edited by Kio !! :D
http://rpg.para.s3p.net/
-->Released and translated by Sonicia.
Search for my name (Sonicia)for the customizing place where you can arange the
graphics where you want them. Please credit Kio, who orginally made this script
compatable, and me for translating, releasing, and finding out how to use it.
Note, in a few rare spots there is still Japanese, since it was code I didnt
change it for fear of messing it up. All comments are translated by Sonicia.

Note: you MUST HAVE continue.png, continue_active.png, newgame.png,
newgame_active.png, shutdown.png, and shutdown_active.png in your game's
graphics\title folder. The graphics must be the same size, both active and inactive.
This means that if you have an arrow or text for active make that one first, duplicate,
then erase the arrow and edit the rest of the picture or it will be set off.

Edited by Tim Robb (crystal)
I have allowed the .png files to be larger than 150x50.
Also I have enabled the left and right to work correctly.
Please give credit for this.
Credit Tim Robb for releasing the update and Eion Robb for fixing it.

Thank you, and enjoy!

Customize the location and the graphics make sure you change

Also.... just not to make 2 threads here... How would I be able to let the player enable fullscreen mode?
